At the Peak of Fun – Summer: The Lightness of Hiking in Flachau.

THE EASY WAY INTO THE MOUNTAINS WITH AN EXTREMELY HIGH FUN FACTOR

Mountains are a bit like the sea: if you didn’t grow up around them, you’ll have the utmost respect for them. But in reality, the mountains are an incomparable natural space that promises peace, relaxation, and action. Close to the sky and far from everyday life, body, mind, and soul can breathe freely — and fun is never in short supply. Flachau offers ideal conditions for an active summer holiday in the mountains, whether you’re a beginner, a seasoned mountaineer, or traveling with the whole family. The valley is wide, the peaks boast fantastic views, the cable cars are convenient, and the range of activities is diverse. Most hiking routes are easy to moderate; all of them offer magnificent views of the Salzburg mountains. Along the well-marked and secured trails you’ll find rustic alpine huts inviting you to take a relaxing break. And that’s far from everything: the mountains around Flachau also offer perfect terrain for exciting bike tours and a varied program of fun sports, adventures, and outdoor activities.
