What equipment do I need to bring?

The basics include sturdy hiking boots, a comfortable backpack, weather-appropriate clothing, and a water bottle. For some tours, you might also need specialized equipment like hiking poles, which you can find recommended in the What To Bring section on each of our tours.

How do I get to the starting point of the tour?

Most of our tours begin in locations that are easily accessible via public transportation. Whether in Europe, the Americas, or other regions, the starting points are typically near major airports, train stations, or bus stops. We will provide you with detailed instructions on how to reach the start of your tour using public transport options. If you prefer more convenience, we can arrange private transfers directly from the airport or train station to your starting location for an additional charge.

Is accommodation included in the tours?

Yes, accommodation is included in all of our tours. We carefully select hotels, guesthouses, and mountain huts that offer comfort and a welcoming atmosphere after a day of hiking.

What is the accommodation like on a walking tour?

Typically, you'll stay in comfortable 3-star hotels, guesthouses, or mountain huts in more remote areas. Please note that in the mountain huts, accommodations are often shared, with dormitory-style rooms, though some huts offer private rooms if booked well in advance.

Can I upgrade the accommodations?

Yes, accommodation upgrades are generally possible for most hotels or B&Bs. In the case of mountain huts, there are usually no other options nearby. However, you can book a private room instead of a dormitory if you are early enough.Please note that upgrading accommodations will affect the final tour price.

What is the tourist tax?

Tourist tax is a small fee charged by some destinations, ranging from €0.50 to €2.50 per night. It is commonly included in your final accommodation bill. However, in some cases, it may need to be paid in cash on-site.

What is luggage transfer?

Luggage transfer means your baggage is transported from one accommodation to another throughout the tour. It comes convenient on most of our tours except the location-based ones, as it lessens the burden on your back during the hike and allows you to bring additional luggage.Please note that luggage transfer is not possible on all treks.

Will my luggage be transported?

Luggage transfer is not possible in every location, especially on high-altitude treks. Therefore, we don't include it by default. However, you can optionally add it to your booking on the tours where it's doable.Please note that adding the luggage transfer affects the final price of the hiking tour.

What is the luggage allowance?

Each transfer allows only one bag per person, which must be soft. The maximum weight permitted is 15 kg. Additionally, bags must not contain food, beverages, medicines, valuables, money, or official documents.

What does a typical day look like on a walking tour?

Every day on a hiking tour begins in the same way: with breakfast. Then, it differs between the tour types. On hut-to-hut or inn-to-inn hikes, you must leave the accommodation early enough to reach your next lodging within the check-in window. On center-based hikes, you can leave and return anytime (barring any additional instructions from the accommodation). You can even opt out of hiking and stay in. On travel & hike tours , you might initially have to drive or take public transportation to the hike's starting point before moving on to your next accommodation. After hiking, you can spend the rest of the day as you please.

What if the weather changes unexpectedly during my hike?

Weather can be unpredictable, especially in mountainous areas. We closely monitor conditions and will inform you if changes are necessary. As long as you dress accordingly, you can do most of our hikes in light rain. In case of severe weather and storms, we’ll advise you on alternative routes, suggest less strenuous hikes, or offer public transport options.

What happens if I need help on the trail?

Our support is available to solve minor issues. Additionally, your digital guidebook will include a contact for the local emergency services in the case of a severe crisis.

Can you accommodate my food restrictions?

Buffet breakfasts in hotels or guesthouses offer enough variety to accommodate vegetarians and vegans. Mountain hut meals are more limited but usually include at least one vegan option. For strict dietary restrictions, you should consider bringing your own food.If you have particular dietary expectations, you must inform us in advance.

Can I extend my trip?

Absolutely! You can extend your holiday by adding extra lodgings to your booking before, during, or after the tour. We will book the additional nights of accommodation and provide recommendations to make the most of your extended stay.

Are meals included in the price?

Aside from some exceptions in remote places, your booking encompasses half-board accommodation in mountain huts and accommodation with breakfast in hotels, guesthouses, or B&Bs. We provide lunch and dinner recommendations for the latter, allowing you to experience the local cuisine according to your taste instead of eating at the hotel.

Will I have cell reception in the mountains?

It varies, but as a rule of thumb, you should expect poor mobile reception on our high-altitude hikes. Nonetheless, our travel material and GPS-navigation app can be used offline, ensuring you are fully prepared for any situation.

Of course. We even curated a selection of hiking tours most suitable for solo travelers .

Are these tours kid-friendly?

It depends on their age and experience, but we also picked several tours suitable for families with children of all ages and levels of experience.

Itinerary of the trip

Upon arriving in Gosau, located in the scenic Salzkammergut region, you'll be at the foot of the Dachstein massif, ready to begin your adventure on the Dachstein Circuit. The village, known for its proximity to the crystal-clear Lake Gosausee and stunning views of the Dachstein Glacier, offers a peaceful alpine setting. Historically a farming village, Gosau now serves as a popular hub for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Whether arriving by regional bus or arranged private transfer, you'll have time to check into your accommodation and prepare for the trek.

A short bus ride will bring you to Gosausee Lake, where you can catch the first reflection of the Dachstein peaks in the water. From the lake's shore, a cable car ride brings you to the Zwieselalm and the Gablonzer Hütte. The high-altitude trail offers panoramic views, with the Gosau-Torstein and Schneeloch glaciers forming a stunning backdrop. The route follows the historical "Bibelweg," once used during the Counter-Reformation to smuggle religious materials. Along the way, the striking Gosaukamm ridge and the towering Torstein gradually come into view, and the Hofpürglhütte soon appears in the distance.

After passing through the larch forest, the trail opens to the expansive alpine pastures of Viehbergalm, where you can sample local alpine produce. Continuing along the path, you ascend to the summit of Hochmühleck at 1731 meters. From the peak, the trail descends steeply through forest paths towards Steinitzenalm and eventually leads to the spa town of Bad Mitterndorf.

Circumnavigating the stunning Dachstein massif, the Dachstein Circuit leads hikers through a UNESCO World Heritage region known for its jagged peaks, expansive glaciers, and charming alpine towns like Hallstatt.

Each day of the hike presents a new facet of the mountains, from the reflective waters of Lake Gosausee to the towering cliffs of Gosaustein and Hochkesselkopf. It is a perfect combination of challenging alpine terrain, scenic mountain views, and historic cultural experiences.

The Dachstein Circuit offers a mix of technical terrain and panoramic views over the Dachstein Glacier, the Hohe Tauern peaks, and tranquil alpine meadows. Paths are well-marked, with steep climbs and descents along the way.

Despite the altitude and long hiking days, cable cars and funiculars help to make some of the more challenging ascents accessible, allowing hikers to fully appreciate the high-altitude trails.

Hikers are welcomed into cozy mountain lodges like the Hofpürglhütte and Goisererhütte, where a warm meal and cold beer await, while lower-level hotels provide more comfort in picturesque towns.

Highlights include the historical Notgasse Gorge, ancient caves, and the breathtaking views from the summit of Hochmühleck. The hike is perfect for experienced hikers looking for an immersive alpine adventure, with the convenience of luggage transfers and comfortable accommodations to ease the journey.

Our services for the Dachstein Circuit include detailed trail maps, booking accommodations in both rustic huts and inns, the possibility of luggage transfers, and customer support.

We also help with logistics and transportation from start to finish, ensuring a seamless and memorable hiking experience in one of Austria’s most scenic regions.

Top Places You'll See

From natural wonders to authentic local culture, the route is packed with memorable sights—these are our absolute favorites.

Gosausee

Gosausee lies at 933 meters in a glacially carved basin beneath the Dachstein massif, with the lake's southern shore offering unobstructed views of the Dachstein South Face. A shoreline trail provides level walking access around the water's edge without elevation gain. The lake's dark, reflective surface creates clear mirror images of surrounding peaks under calm conditions. Its scenic position has made it one of the most photographed locations in the Salzkammergut region since the 19th century.

Hikers with backpacks walking through a narrow, rocky mountain gorge in Notgasse.

Notgasse Gorge

Hidden within the Salzburger Lungau region, Notgasse Gorge reveals a narrow rock corridor carved by water over centuries. The route threads through steep stone walls along a secured path, where cool air and shade replace the openness of surrounding valleys. Passing through feels intimate and enclosed, with rough textures and changing light guiding each step. There are no services inside the gorge, encouraging a slow, attentive crossing rather than a stop. As a short but distinctive section, Notgasse adds contrast and rhythm to longer alpine stages nearby.

Dachstein Glacier

The Dachstein Glacier sits on the northern flank of the 2,995-meter Hoher Dachstein, forming the northernmost glacier in the Eastern Alps. Cable car access from Obertraun and Ramsau provides year-round entry to the glacier's upper basin and ice cave systems. Documented retreat since systematic measurements began in the 1850s has reduced its surface area significantly. The glacier's position and accessibility make it a reference site for long-term glacial monitoring in the limestone Alps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Of course. We aim to make your decision as easy as possible. Therefore, we crafted several selections targeted at particular groups of hikers – Best for Beginners, Best for Advanced Hikers, Mountain Hikes, Pilgrimages, Classic Treks, etc.

If you remain unsure and overwhelmed, you can fill out this form or book a call with us, and we can help you directly.

The sooner, the better! Booking in advance ensures you secure a spot, especially on popular routes where accommodations in remote areas can fill up quickly. For tours like the Tour du Mont Blanc and Alta Via, it's best to book several months ahead, as these areas have limited availability in mountain huts.

However, for some of our less-traveled tours, it's possible to book just a few weeks in advance, though availability and comfort may be more limited, particularly in remote areas with fewer options. To ensure you have the best experience, we always recommend booking early, especially during peak hiking seasons.

Our tours offer flexible starting days, allowing you to begin whenever suits you.However, for some of our most popular routes, like the Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) and Alta Via, we have selected departure days due to high demand and pre-booked accommodations.Be sure to check the specific requirements for these tours.

We offer a variety of tours suitable for different fitness levels and technical abilities. Some of them require no prior hiking experience.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced hiker, we have the perfect route for you. You can find more information in our Hiking Difficulty Guide, and we also have dedicated sections for Best for Beginners and Best for Advanced Hikers to help you choose the suitable tour.

The fitness level is based on a scale determined by our hiking experts. It varies depending on the tour and defines the selected hiking tour's physical requirements in comparison to others. For a detailed overview, please refer to our Hiking Difficulty Guide.

The technical demands of each hike differ. The technical-level scale defines the technical requirements of each tour in comparison to others, ranging from basic walking to scrambling or using specialized equipment. For a more in-depth explanation of the five levels, please refer to our Hiking Difficulty Guide.

Most of our tours are self-guided, meaning you have the freedom to explore at your own pace without being tied to a group schedule. We provide detailed digital guidebooks that include maps, route notes, and GPS files to ensure a smooth experience.

You can learn more about the concept by reading Self-Guided Tours Explained. We include a guide only for the most challenging treks, like the Triglav Summit Climb.

We provide a comprehensive digital guidebook with maps, route notes, accommodation details, and emergency contacts. Our support will be available during the tour. However, you'll have all the information you need to enjoy your hike independently.

A really fantastic ski tour. Uros provided fantastic support pre-trip, organising everything and always available for questions. Our skil guide Ziga was brilliant, very knowledgeable and was able to adapt the itinerary to match latest weather conditions and group ability. I would highly recommend.

I have a lot of experience hiking in the mountains but still chose to book a guide, as I have neither the gear nor experience in via ferrata climbing. It turned out to be a really good idea! Prior to the trip, I had contact with the organizer and a video call where I could ask questions, which provided a good basis for deciding which trip was right for me. We were three women + our guide Jakob. On day 2, we started very early before sunrise, which gave us a bit more space on the trail and the pleasure of watching the sun rise over the mountain. Jakob was incredibly good at making our small group function, even though our levels were quite varied. I have a fear of heights, but I didn't feel unsafe at all. It was really nice that there was time to clip us into the wire. Back at the cabin, we had breakfast before heading back down towards the car. An absolutely fantastic trip that requires good physical fitness.
