Summer Holidays

Mountains and nature combine to form the centre of an enjoyable holiday. Over 900km of well marked walking and hiking paths await the mountain lover. Climb/ hike any degree of difficulty or mountain bike the powerful inspirational world. Discover the radiant mountain backdrop of the Rofan, the Wiedersberger Horn and Gratlpitz. 360 degree beautiful panoramic views.

The natural deep blue lakes in the area are perfect for swimming, boating, diving, splashing around or just relaxing. The more adventurous will find a lot of action with wild water swimming, tubing, rafting and kayaking in the gorges and canyons of the rushing mountain streams and rivers.

Also paragliding in Kramsach, about 20 mins away. All year round skiing and snowboarding at the glacier in Hintertux, about an hour away. Horse riding in Kramsach, about 15 mins. Hot air ballooning in St Johann, about 45 mins. Numerous water parks and adventure play grounds and parks 20 mins. One of my favourite things is flower picking in the lush meadows. A large concrete skate park 'The Cradle' in Brixlegg 15 mins away that is another beauty. One of the best in Europe. Big smooth hips, spines, and corners will let you fly. This park also features the worlds first 'cradle'. It's a capsule that's over vert at the end of a bowl.

Walking

Mist clings to the pines, wrapping you into a mysterious world of green shade beneath the dripping canopy. Only the rattle of a distant woodpecker breaks the silence. The path zigzags uphill; at every junction the route is clearly marked, so there’s no need to bury your nose in a map. Sunlight filters through as you emerge onto a lush meadow, grass swaying in a gentle breeze that carries the evocative clang of cowbells. Underfoot, a carpet of wildflowers creates a dazzling display of colour. Marmots squeak and scatter as you pass.

You’re making for a wooden hut perched among the rocks, its cheery red and white flag bright against the aquamarine sky. Lunch is a traditional dumpling stew and a beer, enjoyed in the warmth of the hut’s terrace. It’s a chance to admire the view, which stretches over deep forested valleys to an abrupt wall of limestone peaks like the ramparts of a fairytale castle. Above and behind, sunlight glints on the glacial heads of the snow giants. This is just another day in Austria, and tomorrow promises more of the same.

With an unrivalled selection of rambler-friendly trails, cable cars that take the sting from the hills and a network of welcoming mountain huts, there’s nowhere more convenient to lace up a pair of boots. Yet the countryside itself is Austria’s real star attraction. The landscape is a rich tapestry of pastures and forests, clear lakes and high snow peaks that combine to make up the most unspoilt surroundings in central Europe. Austria is Alpine walking at its finest – once smitten, you’ll be in love for life.
