Long-distance hiking for best agers: experience nature and explore new paths

The course of life - symbolic like the seasons: In spring, everything blooms and flourishes in all colours. In summer, things literally heat up. And in late summer and early autumn? The air is clear, everything is calmer and bathed in mild light. For many, this is the most beautiful time of year - time to realise old (or even new) dreams.

Dreams such as hiking the Alpe-Adria-Trail, one of the greatest long-distance hiking trails in the Alpine region. The first 21 stages of the Alpe-Adria-Trail, from the start at the foot of the Grossglockner to the azure-blue Faaker See on the border with Slovenia, offer a top-class scenic experience. But there's much more: as a best ager, the focus is now on conscious enjoyment - and taking your time. Slow travel is the new buzzword. Something that has always been the essence of long-distance hiking: travelling through a landscape at walking pace. Travelling so slowly that everything that gets lost in the speed of our everyday lives takes on a new magic. Such as great encounters with locals or a glass of good wine with a regional speciality at the dinner table after a long day of hiking. It is simplicity that suddenly becomes a luxury.

And so that you can enjoy all of this carefree, we at the Alpe-Adria-Trail Info & Booking Centre take care of you: completely individual trip planning, the best advice from experienced trail experts, luggage service, detailed travel documents and a 12/7 hotline during your hiking trip - plus the option of booking upscale hotels - allow you to concentrate on the essentials on your trip: making old (or new) dreams come true. And best of all: you will receive a pair of Alpe-Adria-Trail trekking poles as a gift at the start of your trip. So that your hike on the Alpe-Adria-Trail becomes the course of your life!
