Hiking tips
The hiking trails are divided into different categories:
- Trails that starts and ends at the same place.
- Panoramic trails where you will experience a lot of different beautiful views.
- Family trails which are perfect for families.
- Extreme trails which are more challenging. Fits those who wants a challenge.
Going on a longer trip, it is good to be prepared for a bit of everything. It is a good idea to bring a backpack in which to carry your supplies, sunscreen, warm clothes and anything else you could possibly need during the hike.
We suggest that you wear many thin layers of clothing as the weather in the mountains tend to change quickly. It is a good idea to plan the entire tour before the hike so that you know which path to follow. So pack your bags, set off and discover the idyllic Austrian nature.
