Independent walking holidays in Austria

You've seen it on postcards; now see it in person. As one of Europe's most popular walking holiday destinations, Austria is a truly magical combination of many fairytale features, spectacular Alpine mountain scenery and a surprisingly diverse set of landscapes and cultural wonders. The villages are as varied as the landscape, the market towns have barely changed since medieval times, and the imperial cities, traditional folklore, music and warm-hearted people make for a truly authentic experience on your Austrian walking holiday.

More than 40,000 kilometres (25,000 miles) of way-marked walking and hiking trails in breathtaking scenery takes you away from hectic everyday life and into a revitalising Austrian walking holiday of a lifetime.
