Active summer holidays in Austria
What do you think of when you hear the word “summer in Austria”? Probably you think of the green alpine pastures. That’s clear, because the many imposing mountains are adventure playgrounds for all nature and outdoor sport enthusiasts for all ages from young to old. In the Austria’s Alps you can hike, paraglide, mountain bike and climb, trail running and GPS-supported treasure hunts or swim in the crystal-clear mountain lakes which is now very in trend. The leisure activities in the valleys are just as multifaceted as those in the mountains. Jump on your bike, have a nice day swimming at one of the many lakes and stroll along the many trails. The Alpine republic also serves up a lot of culinary delights. You will find mountain inns and rustic alpine huts as well as fine cuisine. Are you interested in culture?

Safety on the alpine pastures
So that you and guests can enjoy their holiday on the alpine pasture, it is important to adhere to a few rules. Always stay on the trails and keep your distance from grazing livestock. Suckling cows protect their calves, so you shouldn’t get too close to them, especially with dogs. Please take your garbage back down into the valley and be sure to carefully close the pasture gates behind you. Leave only footprints and take only photographs.
