Not every path has to lead to a summit
A round to the alpine pasture, a forest path with children or a long mountain day: you choose what suits fitness, weather and mood today.

Safely into the mountains – relaxed, well plannable, together
A valuable holiday is not measured in flight hours. In the morning you set off from the accommodation, at midday you sit by the lake and in the evening you eat together on the terrace. Hiking, cycling, swimming or simply having nothing planned for once – here you decide what the day brings.

Safely into the mountains here means above all: uncomplicated. Easily reachable huts and holiday homes in Austria, short distances instead of a long journey, plannable days instead of summit stress – so the holiday begins relaxed from the start. How to really plan a mountain tour safely is shown in our guide »Safe in the mountains«.

One day, many possibilitiesHiking, lake and cooking together – without changing places
2
You set the paceSummit tour, forest path or rest day – no compulsory programme
3
Shared memoriesA stream, a Jause (snack) and a path everyone has walked
4
Closer than you thinkFar from everyday life – entirely without a long-haul flight
More than far away
You don’t have to go far to be far from everyday life
The value of a holiday does not come from distance. It comes where time, nature and shared experiences fit together – and that often begins just a few hours by car or one train ride away.
The mountain holiday magazine
Rest and movement don’t have to be opposites
The magazine whets your appetite for the holiday. The concrete preparation then follows in the guide – with common sense instead of a raised finger.
Water that comes with the mountains included
A small tour in the morning, swimming in the afternoon. Or simply staying by the water all day. Both are a good holiday day.
Swim safelyOut on the bike instead of on in the car
Leisurely along the valley cycle path, to the farm shop or by bike towards the alpine pasture. The route just has to suit you.
Cycle safelyAt dinner everyone talks about the same day
Nobody has to be entertained all the time. A path, a lake and cooking together give families and friends enough material for a good day.
Holidays for your groupWhen it gets quieter outside, it often gets quieter in your head too
No daily change of place. A book, a bench, a path and finally a conversation that isn’t interrupted after three minutes.
Into the mountains aloneWell plannable instead of risk-free
The mountains give freedom. Good preparation makes them enjoyable.
We don’t claim that hiking, cycling or swimming are without risk. We help you choose an accommodation and activities that suit you, your experience and your pace.
Turning back also counts as a good decision. The summit stays. The lake stays. And the next holiday day comes too.
Who are you travelling with?
The mountain holiday is allowed to suit you – not the other way round
Every travel group needs a different accommodation and a different pace. This takes you to the matching holiday themes.
Family
Time that doesn’t vanish between appointments
Short distances, animals, stream and lake. Children often need less programme than adults think.

A small hut, a path and a long evening. A couple’s holiday doesn’t have to prove more than that.

Safely into the mountains – briefly answered
Is a holiday in the mountains completely without danger?
No. Hiking, cycling and swimming need attention and suitable preparation. But many holiday days can be planned well, calmly and in line with your own ability.
Do we have to be especially sporty for it?
No. There are walking paths, easy cycling routes, swimming lakes and accommodations where nature begins right outside the door. Not every mountain holiday needs a summit.
Are mountain holidays suitable for families?
Yes, if accommodation and activities suit the children’s age. Short destinations, breaks and a plan B are often more important than as many metres of altitude as possible.
Is this holiday worth more than a long journey?
Distance does not determine value. Shared experiences, peace, exercise and a place where you feel at home can begin much closer.
Is a holiday in the mountains safer than a city trip?
That cannot be compared across the board. A mountain holiday can be manageable and self-determined. Safety always comes from suitable planning and sensible decisions.
What do we do in bad weather?
Change the tour, make a small excursion, cook, play or take a rest day. A holiday doesn’t lose its value just because one day goes differently than planned.
