The Vienna Alps offer an unforgettable hiking experience, featuring breathtaking landscapes, cultural highlights, and modern infrastructure. Majestic mountains like Schneeberg, Rax, and Hohe Wand provide a variety of trails suitable for both beginners and seasoned climbers. The region is especially renowned for its cable cars, which make the ascent easier while offering spectacular views. Highlights include the Rax Cable Car and the Schneeberg Railway, a cog railway leading to the highest point in Lower Austria.

Attractions such as the Hohe Wand Skywalk viewing platform, the Myra Falls in Puchberg, and the Semmering Railway Viaduct-a UNESCO World Heritage Site-add extra charm to the journey. Hikers can also indulge in regional culinary delights at cozy mountain huts, where traditional specialties await. The unique combination of nature, culture, and activity makes the Vienna Alps a paradise for hiking enthusiasts seeking both relaxation and adventure.

Tour Details: Elevation and route path varies daily on this tour. Higher elevations are bridged by cable car or train. Nevertheless, shorter but steep climbs have to be taken into account. You'll walk on plateaus as well as Alpine paths, so you should be in average or above average fitness ability. You'll be walking from 5 to 5.5 hours a day on this self-guided tour.
