#1 Hut hiking on the
Alpe-Adria-Trail

HUT TOUR ALPS/CARINTHIA: FROM THE GLACIER TO THE SEA

Writing about the Alpe Adria Trail, which has a total of 37 stages, is now carrying owls to Athens: in the last 10 years, it has become perhaps the best-known long-distance hiking trail in the Eastern Alps. One of the reasons: the routing from the glacier to the sea through Carinthia, Slovenia and Friuli is captivating.

.

For the theme “Hiking from hut to hut” we have compiled for you three stages along the Alpe-Adria Trail in the Nockberge mountains. An offer that, in our opinion, packs the maximum into a short vacation. You can unpack your swimming gear at your starting point in Döbriach on Lake Millstätter See before hiking three stages from hut to hut all the way to Bad Kleinkirchheim with its full wellness offerings. The alpine pastures of the round Nockberge mountains are ideal for hut hiking and the views are breathtaking. With this offer you really have a perfect symbiosis between a hut hike combined with the wellness and swimming offers in the surrounding towns. And: You do not have to carry your own luggage – unlike most other hut tours: here we offer luggage service.

#2 Gesäuse hut circuit

HUT TOUR ALPS/STYRIA: THROUGH THE NATIONAL PARK GESÄUSE

With the Gesäuse Hüttenrunde you get exactly what it says: namely a hut hike and nothing else. Whereby the “nothing” in this case is very much. Namely a mountain landscape, which is one of the most impressive in Austria because of its ruggedness. Up to 800 m high rock faces and wild rivers attract the views, so you have to be careful not to stumble constantly. But don’t worry: the route is so cleverly designed that you can always enjoy hiking from hut to hut on moderate climbs. The refuges where you spend the night along the Gesäuse Hütterunde are among the most traditional in Austria and still offer real hut flair. Only in the evening it can be stressful – what is more important: the excellent home cooking or the spectacular evening atmosphere on the hut terrace high above the valleys in the middle of the Gesäuse National Park?

#3 Hut Hiking on the Nockberge Trail

HUT TOUR ALPS/CARINTHIA: HIKER’S PARADISE BIOSPHERE PARK NOCK MOUNTAINS

The Nockberge Trail is an 8-stage long-distance hiking trail through the Nockberge mountains from Katschberg to Seeboden on Lake Millstatt. We are very proud to have developed it together with the Nockberge Biosphere Park. Why? Simply because, in our subjective opinion, the Nockberge Trail is one of the best long-distance hiking trails far and wide. This is not necessarily our merit in the first place – this honor must go to Mother Nature. The Nockberge are simply made for enjoyable hiking from hut to hut with luggage transport: You mostly hike on ridges and over alpine pastures above the timberline with a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains. And if you are once under the timberline on the way then wonderful larch and Swiss stone pine forests are waiting for you. Especially hut feeling comes up when you start with the 4th stage from the Turracher Höhe, spend the night at the Lärchenhütte and then continue with a stopover in Bad Kleinkirchheim from hut to hut to Seeboden. Hut hiking at it’s best!

#4 Hut hiking on the Luchs Trail

HUT TOUR ALPS/STYRIA: THROUGH AUSTRIA’S WILD CENTER

The Lynx Trail is a long-distance hiking trail in the border region of Upper Austria, Styria and Lower Austria through the Kalkalpen and Gesäuse National Parks and the Dürrenstein Wilderness Area. It was one of our first long-distance trails, which we developed as a tourism agency and tour operator together with local tourism and protected area representatives and which has since become a long-distance hiking classic. Logically, then, we also offer it as a hut hike.

If you want to enjoy the Lynx Trail from hut to hut, then we recommend the first seven stages (from these 7 stages we have put together 2 packages with 5 stages each). They run mostly through lonely middle and high mountains (habitat of the shy lynx, exactly!) and together with small simple huts like the Anlaufalm offer a harmonious hiking experience in the middle of nature. Overnight stays in Admont with its world-famous abbey library and in the mountaineering village of Johnsbach create a wonderful contrast and the necessary relaxation.
