Austria walking holidays: amazing variety
Step out of your apartment and straight into adventure. From the Haus Braunarl, paths lead in every direction: across soft forest floors, along clear streams, and up to quiet spots with sweeping views. When you hike here, you quickly discover that every step brings peace – this is what a truly restorative Austrian walking holiday feels like.
Good to know
On a hiking holiday in Lech, you (and your four-legged friends) can explore a network of trails covering around 350 kilometres, with leisurely promenades, scenic high-altitude trails, and numerous huts for a well-earned rest stop – ideal conditions for Austria walking holidays.
Three reasons to choose a hiking holiday in Austria
- Start right from your apartment: Step outside, and you’re on the trails – winter hiking, summer routes, even the Lechweg trail.
- Genuine insider tips and support: On request, we can arrange a mountain guide or share our favourite routes with you.
- Flexibility with the Lech Card: Depending on the season, you can conveniently use mountain cable cars and local buses free of charge – available as an add-on.
Long-distance hiking in comfort
Follow the turquoise river for 125 kilometres, from its source at Lake Formarinsee to the Lechfall Waterfall in Bavaria. Look forward to suspension bridges, tranquil lakes, local legends – and nature that takes your breath away at every turn.
Partner advantage: We can help with route planning, maps, timetables/transfers, and packed lunches. Start relaxed – three stages begin right on your doorstep.
- Stage 1: LakeFormarinsee → Lech (an arrival with stunning views)
- Stage 2: Lech → Warth (panoramic trails above the Lech Gorge)
- Stage 3: Warth → Steeg (easy return by hiking bus)
Tip: The Lech Loops are a great alternative for those who prefer a shorter hike.
This three-day circular route through the Alpine landscape of Lech-Zürs is dotted with mythical creatures, legendary figures, and art installations. Literary walking map in hand, you’ll see the mountains differently: rock formations become theatres, forest clearings become stories. Created by artists Daniela Egger and Daniel Nikolaus Kocher, the Green Ring is an experience to stimulate mind, heart, and body – ideal for families and anyone wanting to escape the everyday and add a playful, creative dimension to their Austria walking holidays.
Tip:
At each stage, you can take the mountain cable car to reach the next. Summer mountain cable car travel is included in the Lech Card.
For those who prefer a more sporting edge to their Austria walking holidays, the multi-stage Arlberg Trail winds through the region’s most beautiful towns: St. Anton, Stuben, Zürs, and Lech. The advantage? Both start and finish are at the Haus Braunarl – perfect for those who want to combine a multi-day tour with home comforts.
