Hochkoenig
Natural wonders fit for a king
Ramblers both young and old are enchanted by
the bewitching landscapes of the Hochkönig hikers’
paradise. Wide valleys and flower-sprinkled Alpine
meadows around three picture-book villages of
Maria Alm, Dienten und Mühlbach are the setting
for extensive rambles on 340 km of hiking paths,
such as the Salzburger Almenweg or the Via Alpina.
You can reach the high peaks and head for the sun
with one of the summer cable-car services and be
rewarded with some fabulous views.
The Hochkönig region welcomes families with an
exciting, free children’s programme and discounts
for families (special offers and even free holidays
for kids). Certified family hotels with friendly hosts
provide a pleasant base for dream holidays.
In winter the mountains around legendary Hochkönig peak provide fantastic conditions for winter sports,
because this is part of the ‘Ski amadé’ ski region, Austria’s biggest winter sports area. The choice includes
25 top ski resorts, 270 state-of-the-art lift facilities’ and 860 km of pistes for every level of skiers –

H
olidays in Austria. Most of us spend almost half of our lives sitting down, our thoughts revolving around our job and our everyday existence. But on holiday, we
really come to life! We yearn to be outside in the fresh air! We demand not only a change of scenery, but also some time for private contemplation. And we long for
unspoilt nature, a pleasant climate and pure water: As our bodies respond to physical exercise and balance is restored, heart and soul slowly find their rhythm. With every
step towards a mountain peak, the stresses of every day life seem smaller and pettier. Until they disappear completely. How does Austria look from a bird’s perspective?
Paraglider and hangglider pilots can find the answer for themselves. And the brave souls who explore wild mountain rivers by raft will relive the adventures that they had
with their group for years to come. Water attracts us: Austria boasts 300 bathing lakes, of whose pristine water quality we are justifiably proud, and some of the world’s
finest golf courses. You can holiday in a riding school, on a children’s farm, in a hiking village, climbing camp or tennis hotel, join a course at a surfing, kiteboarding or
wakeboarding school – everyone’s on the move in Austria! Wishing you an action-packed active holiday in Austria. We look forward to welcoming you.

quickly and safely up to the mountaintop “bare foot hiking trail” and a
unique Alpine flower garden at 1,700 metres altitude. You can explore
the Ausserferner mountain world in comfort, using the 22 serviced
mountain inns as a safe haven. 48 km of well constructed cycle trails
and more than 138 km of mountain bike trails of all grades of difficulty
provide the basis of great holidays on wheels. A stroll at sunset to the
Alpsee, with its views of illuminated Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau Castles, is guaranteed to create a romantic mood.

Both locals and guests take full advantage of the new Nordic walking
trails under the motto “run and walk along the Lech”. Summer bathers

The Gerlitzen, Dreiländereck, Verditz, Mittagskogel und
Dobratsch mountains form its geographical cornerstones and
offer hiking fans as well as action men and women all kinds of
pleasures and challenges in the great outdoors – from family

as a training session for Carinthia’s Ironman Austria. This race covers just half the full Ironman distance – a

Bregenzerwald: Perfect hiking country
On the cheese trail
You can immerse yourself in the culture of cheese on the Bregenzerwald’s
KäseStraße! Several events and tasting sessions initiate you into the secrets
of cheese-making while hostelries and some award winning restaurants
along the Cheese Road serve up regional delicacies and creative cheese
dishes. You are invited to KäseHerbst, an autumn cheese festival from mid
September to mid October. Hostelries along the Cheese Road will be serving
up Alpkäse and Vorsäßkäse, specialities of the mountains; there will be
cheese and wine tasting events, cheese-themed rambles, demonstrations in
cheese-making dairies, plus musical and cultural performances.
Hands Free Hiking
Just fill a small rucksack – and you can head for the hills, because by
evening your suitcase will be waiting for you at the next hotel. One of the
most memorable hikes follows a three day route from Schwarzenberg to
Au. This tour is leisurely and broken up into sections of 3.5 to 5 hours’
walking a day on well marked trails. The terrain is pleasantly undemanding
and suitable for “Sunday ramblers” (3 nights including luggage transfers
from €383 per person).
Bregenzerwald Guest Card
Anyone staying for at least three nights in Bregenzerwald between May and
the end of October is given a Bregenzerwald Guest Card. This entitles you
to unlimited travel on the region’s public transport – buses and cable cars
– and also gives free entry to outdoor swimming pools, plus discounts at
many of the region’s holiday facilities.

Summer holidays then and now
igh society considered Austria’s lakes as a day trip destination up
until the end of the 19th century. One sat on the shady shore, enjoyed
the beauty of the landscape and dined in a charming lakeside inn. A
favourite destination for this kind of summer break was Salzburger Land. It
was only from about 1870 that the first bathing resorts with villas and lake
hotels started to spring up and in their wake a new culture of enjoyment
was born: bathing and swimming facilities were introduced, steam ships
and boat hire companies followed, and the shores were illuminated in the
evening so that people could stroll on lakeside promenades.

Cool refreshment. Nowadays a holiday in the lakes of Salzburger Land
is just as healthy and refreshing. The natural bathing lakes tucked amidst
gently rolling mountains have water of drinking quality and there are
picturesque villages and peaceful hiking trails to be explored. The picture
book scenery around the Wolfgangsee has always cast a spell, but the
Fuschlsee and tiny Hintersee are also worth a visit. Fuschl Castle and its
landscapes rich in natural beauty are a dream location for romantic
holidays; the warm waters of the Wallersee and the three Trumer lakes
are an ideal excursion destination for pleasure-seekers, where you can
also enjoy delightful lakeside walks. The clear lakes of Ausseerland are
also in easy reach, where divers can explore and anglers can fish to their
heart’s content. Those who prefer their summer holidays combined with
culture rather than sport will find plenty to impress in Salzburger Land,
and so much more than the famous Salzburg Festival. There are
numerous festivals all summer long such as Mattsee’s Diabelli Summer
which features chamber music, folk music and jazz. The resort’s Leonardo
Academy of Art also offers numerous painting courses in the imposing
setting of a castle and the magnificent landscapes here cannot fail to
inspire any painter. Info from www.austria.info

mountain of adventure: the Wilder Kaiser is famous for its
unbelievably beautiful hiking trails and fantastic children’s
and youth programme, but is still something of a well kept secret
amongst runners and Nordic walkers of every age group. New
running and walking routes in Ellmau and Söll complete with
information boards and maps were opened this year in cooperation
with the Province of Tirol and Innsbruck Running Laboratory. This is
an indication of the increased enthusiasm for these sports and the
fact that running course for kids and running training weekends for
adults are back on the villages’ activity programmes. The routes
are stimulating – whether you take the easy “blue tour” past the
panorama pool in Söll or the moderate Sonnseitrunde trail in
Ellmau.
On 10 October 2009 all eyes will be on Söll as host of the World
Mountain Running Championships. The Kaiser Marathon has been
held since 2006 as part of the Tour de Tyrol series and follows a
42 km course with an altitude difference of 2,000 metres, mainly
through the Wilder Kaiser–Brixental ski arena.

your running or walking style analysed and have experts devise a

ideal complement to your training programme. Running and Nordic
walking feel twice as good when you are exercising amidst magnificent
natural backdrops and in pristine mountain air. Nordic walking in
particular is an immeasurably suitable leisure activity for anyone slightly
out of condition, especially when you are shown the correct technique.

Holidays with an adrenaline kick in Kinderhotels.
nly where you see the “Kinderhotels” sign can you expect the very best
in children’s holidays. And with 20 years of experience these hotels
have perfected service for families with kids aged 7 and over, but also an
action-packed programme for guests big and small.
A stay in a Kinderhotel means holidays at the best price inclusive of childcare for kids of any age. And childcare means an ingenious programme of
activities, providing high adventure and higher adrenaline levels!
Smiley guarantees awesome adventures both indoors and out, which kids
can’t wait to talk about back home. With highly trained and motivated
kindergarten staff and children’s entertainers.

Guaranteed inclusive Smiley
Smiley, mascot of Kinderhotels, is the guarantee that all quality criteria will
be fulfilled. You can also be assured that childcare is already included in the
accommodation price. That also applies to special children’s meals and soft
drinks, which bubble all day long from the Lemonade Fountain. Feasting,
fun and games are guaranteed all round the clock. Like living a fairytale
with a happy ever after!
And…. Action!
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1… the countdown begins. Being there is everything. On a Kinderhotels activity holiday with a kick. Sporty water babies
are invited to participate in an exciting Water Olympics. Lifting lemonade
glasses and egg throwing are some of the events at the Scottish Highland
Games, open to all, not just Scottish kilt wearers! There’s more excitement
at the Scuba Ranger competition for daring divers, or on mystical full-moon
rambles and treasure hunts in dark and mysterious woods.
There’s a medieval pageant for castle maidens and their brave knights,
followed by a Round Table feast. Kids find their limits on rafting and
canyoning tours on icy cold rivers, or on kayak expeditions through unchartered reed belts. One day you might be building a raft with Captain Cook
and friends; on a riding adventure with fabulous big horses; on a fishing
trip followed by a barbecue of your catch; or quietly greeting and stroking
animals in Noah’s Ark. There’s even a magic show where Mum and Dad
disappear. But don’t worry, they always come back again!
Just like the guests at Kinderhotels!

Cowshed etiquette
n a holiday on the farm kids learn how to live with animals both
large and small. There are calves smelling of milk, rosy piglets, woolly
lambs, dinky ponies, farm dogs, cats and rabbits to meet. Many city kids
encounter animals for the first time in their lives on a farm holiday. Kids soon
want to spend every free minute of their holiday out in the fields, the barns
and the animal pens.

So that they can really understand their new four-legged or feathered friends,
the host farmers often act as gentle interpreters between man and beast. They
explain why goats bleat and whether cows drink milk; they show kids how to
approach animals safely and help them to understand animal body language.
Kids can help the farmer prepare feed for the animals, make toys for the farm
pets and learn through play not only the etiquette of the farmyard but also how
to respect and take responsibility for animals.
You can enjoy holidays on the farm from just €21 per person in a cosy double
room, including a proper farm breakfast, or stay in a holiday apartment from
€54 (for four people).
