Hiking holidays in Austria
Active during the holidays in the Salzburg region
The Hohe Tauern region bears the Austrian Hiking Seal of Quality and so you can expect the finest infrastructure and trails on a hiking holiday in the Gastein Valley. Spend all day gazing at the glorious views of the Grossglockner and Grossvenediger on a panorama hike or go climbing in Austria in the Gastein mountains for a pure adrenaline rush. DAS ALPENHAUS Gasteinertal is the ideal base for leisure hikers, mountaineers, and climbers during a summer in the Austrian Alps.
VIEWPOINT
600 km of hiking trails
The Hohe Tauern National Park offers 600 km of hiking trails, perfect for anyone looking to explore the boundless mountains and immerse themselves in Alpine magic during an active holiday in Austria. The network features a huge variety: from gentle walks through meadows and along forest trails, to challenging mountain summit tours.
The 140 m long Stubnerkogel suspension bridge also offers impressive views: at 2,300 m above sea level, it is the highest bridge of its kind in Europe and is open all year round.
Another spectacular viewpoint can be found directly opposite: the Glocknerblick viewing platform offers a fantastic view of Austria’s highest mountain, the Grossglockner. Visitors looking for (short) walks with spectacular views can tackle the rocky Stubnerkogel trail, which leads around 100 m through steep, craggy rocks to a viewing platform.
Rise above it all and feel the freedom and power of the Alps during a hiking holiday in Austria in the Gastein Valley.
Pure climbing adrenaline
For the most direct path through the rocks, six via ferratas in the Gastein Valley cater for all skill levels. A rock-climbing practice area and a via ferrata practice course are also available. All climbing areas are close to the Kleine Scharte upper station on the Schlossalm lift. Experience an Alpine adrenaline kick on your hiking holiday in the Gastein Valley.
Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
