Self Guided Walking Holidays in Austria and Italy

Walk the legendary E5 Alpine crossing from Germany through Austria to Italy, following the Venet high-altitude trail at 3,000m past rustic mountain huts at Pitztaler Jöchl. Cross Austria's longest suspension bridge and navigate passes through the Ötztal and Passeier Valley, finishing in the Mediterranean spa town of Merano. Each day brings 4-7 hours of moderate hiking through Tyrol's glaciated peaks, thundering waterfalls, and alpine meadows, with luggage transfers between mountain valley accommodations.

Trek through the UNESCO-listed Sesto Dolomites on self-guided routes connecting Sillian, Sexten, and Braies across the Austrian-Italian border. Walk the legendary Three Peaks trail in Val Fiscalina, circle the iconic Lake Braies, and move through Prato Piazza's alpine meadows with luggage transfers between 3-star hotels. Navigate using detailed route maps and a GPS app while having 7 breakfasts and 24/7 telephone support throughout this 8-day mountain adventure.

Trek across the main Alpine ridge from Kitzbühel to Bruneck, carrying your own rucksack over historic mountain passes through Austria and Italy. Hike the legendary Hahnenkamm Streif ridge, see the thundering Krimml Waterfalls, and cross the challenging Bretterscharte with panoramic views of the Rieserferner glaciers and Dolomite peaks. Stay at the rustic Oberlandhütte mountain hut, the remote Krimmler Tauernhaus, and the comfortable Hotel Berger in Rein, with six breakfasts and dinners included across this 7-day self-guided alpine adventure.
