About this trip

  

There is no place more beautiful than the mountain pastures of western Austria and this hiking trip will introduce you to some of the best that these mountains have to offer.


We will meet you at the airport in Zurich where we’ll board the train for Austria, switching onto a smaller valley train line to bring us to Schruns in the Montafon Valley. There we’ll check into Hotel Auhof which will be our headquarters for the next 8 nights.


Each morning we’ll set out directly on foot, or start with a cable car ride, to explore a new part of the valley. The difficulty of the hiking will be moderate, as we will generally traverse the sides of mountains, rather then climb directly up or down. 


For lunch we’ll picnic or eat at a mountain hut and at the end of the day we’ll return to our hotel for a spell in the hot tub or sauna before settling into a gourmet dinner.

  

About the Hiking

As this valley in Austria is a ski center in the winter, there are a number of major cable cars which we’ll use to climb out of the valley and quickly arrive above tree line. Once there, we’ll be walking through mountain pastures and over an occasional pass. While we won’t be rock climbing or crossing any glaciers, the hiking will be of an intermediate nature and there will be few ways to cut a day’s walk short. The trail surface can be rocky or muddy in sections.


We ask that all hikers on this trip have good hiking equipment, be in moderate to good condition, and be ready to carry oneself on foot throughout the day. If you have any questions about whether this trip is appropriate for you, please contact us so we can talk it over together.


The Hotel Auhof

We’ll enjoy comfortable rooms in this three-star hotel that measures up to and exceeds Austria’s high standards for hospitality. The rooms each have private bathrooms and comfortable beds.

Spa facilities at the hotel include sauna, steam room and Kneipp pool. 

Austrian hotels are known as much for their cuisine as their lodging and we’ll be well fed with a large breakfast buffet and a four-course dinner each night. Vegetarians can be easily accommodated.

Traveling can be stressful, but we take the worry out of travel by handling all the hard bits for you. We do the planning, book the hotels, and reserve your restaurant. We know the villages to visit, the vineyards to tour, and the cooking classes to attend. We set all this up for you. Then we make your trip easy. First we pick you up at the airport in a small van and whisk you to your hotel. We travel with you from place to place, from activity to activity, and finally deliver you back to the airport for your flight home.

I loved this trip. The other participants were interesting and fun, and the sites we visited were interesting and somewhat off the beaten track. Our guide, Alberto, couldn't have been better. He was knowledgeable, and his ability to spot and show us tiny frogs and other things that I never would have seen on my own was fantastic. Our driver was competent and able to drive us safely and apparently fearlessly in challenging locatons. The lodgings were all excellent. I have traveled with Travel Fever before and have always been satisfied. I'm so glad I went! Kathy Greve

What a wonderful trip! It couldn't have been better. I enjoyed every aspect of it: the variety of activities, the beauty of the city and its people and plant-life, the local presenters and all the people leading and on the tour, as well as the comfort and quality of where we stayed and what we ate. I am definitely hoping to join another "travel fever tours" trip in the near future!

Great travel leaders (Bob and Cicely) who attended to every detail, from hotel to food and beyond. The hotel was a great choice, and both Bob and the hotel helped me out by agreeing to move me to a quieter room. Edwin was a fabulous person and Alpine guide. I would trust and follow him anywhere. Lots of flexibility was built in to accommodate the guests' needs and abilities during the walks. I would do this trip again as there was a lot left to see and do in the region.

Thank you to Bob, Don and Betsy! Thank you to fellow travelers all. There is not one who did not enrich my experience with their company. "Enrichment" is the word, too, for every day along the Camino and every evening spent in good company with excellent food and wine before retiring to a comfortable bed. Every place we lodged was impeccably clean and welcoming and sometimes a breathtaking surprise for charm and living history. I had no particular expectations and joined on a whim. I returned refreshed in body and soul from the days of being outdoors both in quiet walking contemplation and in companionship with encouraging new friends.
