Hiking and mountaineering in the 'Salzburg Sportwelt'
My Peak Victory and Leisurely Hikes
With its diverse hiking routes, gently rising mountain ridges, beautiful mountain peaks, crystal-clear lakes and rustic alpine huts, the Salzburg Sportwelt is one of the most popular hiking regions in Austria. The journey is the destination and experiencing nature (but also the tasty snacks in one of the many cosy huts) is the reward. Whether it’s on an individual tour or with local guides on a guided hike – the perfect offer is always available in Flachau, for young and old, for beginners and climbing experts, for practised athletes and for the whole family.
Guided Hikes
During the summer in Flachau, experience hikes are led every day with professional guides at differing degrees of difficulty and focussing on a variety of topics. Participation is free with the Flachau Summer Card (free of charge if staying two or more nights in Flachau).

HIKING TIP
Margaretha Oberreiter, Tirolerhof manager and passionate ‘mountain goat’
I always recommend checking the weather forecast for the mountains before every hike and adapting to the changing conditions with suitable hiking equipment. The basic equipment you will need includes proper hiking shoes with grip, waterproofs and warm clothing, sun protection, headgear and of course enough to eat and, above all, drink. A first-aid kit and map are also helpful - especially for longer hikes.
