Salzburger Land Region
The city of Salzburg—birthplace of Mozart—and its surrounding areas are among the most livable regions in Austria. Towering mountains, shaded valleys, culture as far as the eye can see, and breathtaking landscapes await hikers who choose one of our trekking tours in the Salzburg region.
Salzkammergut
The famous Salzkammergut extends to three Austrian provinces: Salzburg, Upper Austria and Styria. And you won’t believe there are around 80 beautiful lakes located in this stunning area. No wonder then, that even the Austrian Emperor spent his holidays here every year.
Tyrol
When you think of Tyrol, soaring peaks, lush green alpine meadows, grazing cows, and cozy mountain huts immediately come to mind. And that’s exactly what sets the stage for a truly memorable hiking vacation. Get ready for an active adventure — we’re confident your expectations won’t just be met, they’ll be exceeded.
Wachau
A journey to the Wachau is filled with magical moments waiting to be discovered. The mighty Danube winds its way through this stunning landscape, drawing cyclists, hikers, and above all, wine lovers. The Wachau’s crisp, expressive white wines rank among Austria’s finest and easily stand alongside top international labels. So—what are you waiting for?
Austrian Alps
With more than half of Austria’s landscape shaped by alpine mountains, it’s no surprise that hiking is part of the country’s DNA. From easy routes for beginners to challenging mountain tours designed for experienced hikers, Austria offers just about everything you could hope for on the trail.
Danube
Europe’s second-longest river sets the stage for an unforgettable hiking vacation in the great outdoors.

Useful information about your hiking tour in Austria
Austria's climate
The climate in Austria has proven to be ideal hiking weather. Despite some rain showers, the climate in the Alpine republic is very pleasant. You can look forward to sunny hiking days with pleasant temperatures. Summers in Austria can sometimes be very warm. What luck that there is almost always a lake nearby to cool you down. And autumn days also promise pleasantly warm temperatures where you can really enjoy hiking.
Austria's cuisine
Admittedly, not all the famous recipes of the delicious Austrian cuisine really come from Austria. Influences from Bohemia, Bavaria, Italy and of course Hungary have made Austria the great culinary nation it is today. Of course you know all the delicacies such as Wiener Schnitzel, a savoury beef goulash, a delicious roast pork with Stöcklkraut and potatoes and the famous Sacher Torte. But have you ever tasted a Tafelspitz, heard of Topfennockerln or tried Innviertler Bratknödel?
Austria's culture and traditions
Have you ever heard of the magic word Alles Walzer? Within seconds, these two little words can make a whole crowd of people in Austria sway their bodies in three-four time. The name waltz comes from the expression "to waltz", i.e. to be on the move. At 60 beats per minute, the Viennese waltz is the fastest dance in the world dance programme. The popular dance developed in the 18th century and finally became a worldwide success in the 19th century thanks to pieces of music such as An der schönen blauen Donau by Johann Strauss Sohn.
