Austria travel guide: mobile data, networks and what's on

What the network is actually like

The valleys and cities are well served. Alpine terrain does what alpine terrain does, so expect to lose signal on passes and in deep valleys even where the map claims coverage. Ski resorts themselves are usually well served.

This eSIM: up to 3G, 4G, 5G, on3, A1.net. Each plan on the Austria page says which of these it uses.

How much data you'll need

Vienna for a week fits inside 5GB, but save your maps offline before you head into the mountains.

Recommended: 5GB → closest plan 5GB · 30 days, $4.76.
