Accommodation

7 nights mountain hotels in southern Germany and Austria. Note that a twin room is not always associated with having two beds! Quite often a twin bed has one or two mattresses on the same bedframe but with two separate duvets. Sometimes there might be two beds positioned together, but they cannot be separated because of constraints of the room.

Grading

This is a self guided walk that is approached in stages of 12.5 to 18.8km/7.8 to 11.7mi, at a medium altitude. There will be a maximum of 6 hours of walking per day. On some days there is the option to shorten the walking by using public buses. As with all of our moderate graded trips it is important that you are well prepared. We suggest that you undertake regular exercise – swimming, cycling, jogging, three or four times a week for at least three months prior to your departure. At any time during summer, weather conditions may be variable and you should be prepared for all conditions including snow, ice, strong sun and extreme winds.

What You Carry

As the walks are fully supported you only need to carry a daypack with your daily requirements including wet weather gear, lunch supplies, water bottle, warm top, phone etc.

Mode of Transport

Transfers from Schonau to Ramsau on day 2, and from Weissbach to Hintermoos on day 3. Train from Werfen to Golling on day 6, cable car for Mt Jenner descent on day 7. Muhlbach local card for free bus travel, cable car, etc.
