Experience summer happiness while hiking

No other sport enables you such acute and pleasant perceptions and sensations of nature.

>>> FOR THE EYES

Blooming meadows, quiet alpine pastures, clear views, weird rocks

>>> FOR THE NOSE

The scent of the fresh air and the natural perfumes of hay, wood, forest and fresh mushrooms

>>> FOR THE EARS

The sizzling of the barbecue, the twitter of the birds, the murmur of the forest, the rolls of thunder, the ripple of the countless streams in the mountains and in the valley

Hiking opens your ways to happiness and gives you the strength to reexperience yourself. Just do it! At our Glemmtalerhof hotel! Take part in a guided hike with our certificated hiking guides or hike on your own initiative.  Discover all the secrets and the art of hiking because hiking is not only a matter of sports but also a matter of senses.  We accompany you part of the way!
