Lace up your trekking boots, shoulder your outdoor backpack and off you go: Austria and its Alps are unbeatable when it comes to hiking, climbing or mountaineering. For example, in Vorarlberg around the Pfänder on Lake Constance, in the imposing Dachstein Mountains of Styria or on the Pyramidenkogel in Carinthia. To gather strength, mountain hotels are ideal, which provide a hearty snack. Add to this the impressive panorama of the mountain world, which radiates its very own charms in summer as well as in winter.
