Moments of happiness – Hiking Summer of Your Life

Whether it's a well-deserved snack at the summit, an extensive feast at one of the beautiful mountain huts or a romantic picnic on the shore of a mountain lake – a great time is guaranteed in Austria's breathtaking landscapes. True to the motto ‘weil’s oben einfach besser schmeckt’ (because it simply tastes better up there), culinary delights in the mountains always offer you a very special experience.

This summer, for the fifth time, three teams are on the road for six weeks in Austria's hiking villages for the ‘Wandersommer deines Lebens' (Hiking Summer of Your Life). The teams of two, consisting of Melanie & Anita, Laura & Frederick and Nico & Katja, will take you to their favourite and most breathtaking hiking spots.

This year, the Hiking Summer of Your Life is divided into three categories: In this Collection, everything revolves around the theme of altitude fun. In our profile, you’ll also find two other Collections on the topics of long-distance hiking and mountain lakes.

Frederick and Laura give you an insight into their experiences in Austria's hiking villages in this Collection. On their hike through the Graggerschlucht gorge, they stop off at Zeckis Hütte for a culinary treat. On the shores of the Lower Zwieflersee, they make themselves comfortable with a picnic and enjoy the landscape and the view of the surrounding mountain panorama. On the summit of the Großer Frauenkogel, they marvel at the far-reaching view while enjoying a delicious snack.

You can find more information about the teams and deeper insights into their experiences during the six weeks on our Instagram account @wanderdoerfer and in the travel diaries on our website.
