Send us an email with your travel dates, fitness level, and preferences (mountains vs. valleys, challenging vs. relaxed, etc.). We'll reply with tailored suggestions based on current conditions and your interests.

We're an information resource rather than a tour operator. However, we can recommend reputable local guiding services and alpine clubs that offer guided experiences. The Austrian Alpine Club (Alpenverein) is an excellent starting point for finding qualified guides.

We review and update our content regularly. However, mountain conditions can change rapidly. We always recommend checking current conditions with local tourism offices or the Austrian Alpine Club before setting out, especially for challenging routes.

We welcome contributions from experienced hikers. If you have detailed knowledge of a particular trail or region and would like to share it, please reach out via our stories email. We're always looking to expand our coverage of Austrian hiking destinations.

The main hiking season runs from June through September. July and August offer the best weather for high-altitude routes, while June and September can be excellent for lower trails with fewer crowds. Some valley walks are possible in spring and autumn, but always check conditions first.

Essential equipment includes sturdy hiking boots, layered clothing, rain protection, sun protection, and a good map. For higher routes, trekking poles are highly recommended. The specific requirements vary by trail - check our individual trail guides for detailed recommendations.
