Hiking holidays in Austria all year long
The peaks look down. And you up.
From Wiesenhof, we can count 25 peaks that look right back at you. Some kind, some challenging, all breathtaking.
After a mountain tour, you need some rest: the Karwendel Spa, truly good food, and a bed that lets your muscles finally unwind. During your hiking holidays in Austria, you’ll experience exactly this, in every season.

Mountain biking and walking holidays in Austria, Tyrol
Mountain biking is pure adrenaline. The Karwendel forests turn into a playground full of surprises. Roots test your balance. Gradients test your will. Every turn hides a new adventure. The Karwendel massif has answers to trail questions you haven’t even asked yet.
E-bikes have changed the game. Suddenly, you can reach Alpine huts that once only mountain goats knew. You ride trails that used to belong to the pros. The mountain still decides between success and surrender. Technology helps you pedal, but skill is still required. Respect for the terrain remains your most important companion. Where to get your bike? It’s best to hire it right here at Wiesenhof. We’re a hiking hotel at Lake Achensee, a bike hotel, a leisure hotel, a sports hotel. We’re whatever you need us to be.
Exploring Austria during your walking holidays
Your feet take the lead, your mind is free to wander. After two hours of hiking and climbing, your thoughts fall into place. The rhythm of your steps becomes the rhythm of your thinking. Problems shrink to the size of ants. Priorities become as clear as mountain air.
Grandma Burgi knows: “Hiking is meditation in motion.” Every step reveals a new view. Every summit opens a new perspective. Every descent brings you back with fresh thoughts.

Perfect for families who love to carve at a relaxed pace and for beginners who want time to learn. For those seeking more: the Christlum and Rofan ski areas are just a free ski-bus ride away, and the Zillertal, with endless kilometres of slopes, is only a 30-minute drive.
