Walking and Hiking Holidays in Austria

Our walking holidays in Austria put you in the heart of the Alps — where wildflower meadows climb towards glacier-capped peaks, sparkling mountain lakes reflect the sky above, and traditional mountain huts offer the kind of restorative stop that makes a long day's walking feel like a privilege. Travel with a small group of fellow walkers and let our expert leaders show you an Austria that goes well beyond the postcard.

Book early and pay less — save £40 per person when you book six months ahead.
