High altitude rush for all

Fired by crystal clear air, dazzled by nature, flooded with endorphins: It’s because of this exhilarating feeling that we all love to move in the mountains. Not to mention the many views, vistas and insights that surprise you while hiking. Always flanked by infinite expanses, the route takes you along forest paths, across alpine meadows, along gurgling streams, waterfalls and lonely lakes above the tree line into the karstic high mountains. Everyone as high as he likes. In a group or alone. And always unbeatably beautiful.

The knighthood for hikers

Climbing a 3000m peak is an unforgettable experience. Over many meters of altitude and changing terrain, step by step you become one with these awe-inspiring natural monuments that have defied mankind for millennia. First the respect for the challenge prevails, then the enthusiasm for the beauty of creation takes over and in the end the view and the pride of your own achievement overwhelms you. Don’t miss this “Yes, I can” feeling!

Cable car hiking

The mountain is calling, but you have small hiking muffle with you or just not enough power for larger climbs? Never mind. With the gondola at the front door you float light as a feather to the summit and from there you can take a relaxed walk downhill on forest paths, conquer the Geisterberg adventure park with the kids or choose a high-altitude hiking trail and later gondola back down. No one really has to do without great views here. No one at all.

Adrenaline & surefootedness

If you like an extra thrill when hiking, you can practice climbing with us. We have great tour suggestions with integrated via ferrata passages and ridge hikes, but also thoroughbred climbing challenges for you. Beginners can learn climbing from experienced guides at the free Kraxl Wednesday. And young guests will love the many high ropes courses in the area. Either way, lots of exciting adventures await you.
