Warnings and insurance
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) provides advice about risks of travel to help British nationals make informed decisions. Find out more about FCDO travel advice.
Flooding in Western and Southern Austria
Heavy rain in Western and Southern Austria has led to mudslides and road closures in the Vorarlberg, Tyrol, Salzburg und Oberkärnten regions. There is an increased risk of flooding in affected regions. Check local conditions before you travel, including roads and hiking trails, and follow the instructions of local officials.
