Salzburg / Hallstatt in November

Hi, as part of a longer road trip we will be spending 3-4 days in Salzburg. We will be driving from Lake Bled and goto Vienna after that. I wanted to understand which of the below options makes sense that time of the year:

Option 1: Stay 4 nights in Salzburg. Do Hallstatt, salt mine and St Gilgen area as road trip

Option 2: 2 nights near Hallstatt and 2 nights in Salzburg.
Day 1 - drive from lake bled and settle for the night
Day 2 - around Hallstatt locations including mine and 5 fingers
Day 3 - check out St gilgen and arrive in Salzburg in the afternoon. Mirabell gardens in second half
Day 4 - Salzburg sights
Day 5 - drive to Vienna

Would appreciate feedback on the above.

I can't help on the Hallstatt/salt mine portion of our question, but we did 4 nights in Salzburg in late November last year, including a day trip to the Wolfgangsee and absolutely loved it. It was nice to have a base instead of packing up and moving lodgings again and allowed us to soak in Salzburg and the surrounding area.

Enjoy your trip!
