> Sleep in Mödlingerhütte, Hesshütte, and Ennstaler Hütte
> We book your huts, you bring the smiles

Picture this: the first rays of sunlight hit the limestone peaks, the morning air is crisp, and all you hear is the distant rush of rivers and the crunch of your boots on the trail. Welcome to Gesäuse—Austria's wild heart and a hidden treasure for hikers who want nature untouched and trails uncrowded.

The Beginner Gesäuse Trek is your gentle gateway into one of Austria’s most spectacular landscapes. Over five days, you'll wander through alpine meadows, along sparkling rivers, and under the watchful gaze of soaring rock faces. It's hiking made simple: manageable distances, easy-to-follow paths, and cozy mountain

Included

Full travel guide

You’ll receive access to our trekking app, which serves as your complete digital travel guide for the Gesäuse Trek . Inside, you’ll find everything you need for your trek: route descriptions, hiking maps, navigation support, payment information, and all the key details specific to your journey.
Accommodation

During your Gesäuse Trek , you will spend your nights in mountain huts. In the mountain huts we normally only book dormitories, but we can look into private rooms on request. If the private rooms are fully booked or not available in the hut, we automatically book a bed in dormitories for you. Please note that private rooms are more expensive and there will be an additional charge for this.
Half board (where possible)

Accommodation in the huts includes dinner and breakfast, unless otherwise indicated in the exclusive list. This allows you to travel lighter and not have to worry about an extra meal. Please note, however, that lunch is not included, but can be purchased at the huts.
Breakfast in hotels (where possible)

Accommodation in the hotels includes breakfast whenever possible. We will arrange this for you as much as possible in advance. Please note that lunch and dinner are not included, but can be ordered at the accommodation or in the village.
Navigation support

Our trekking app also includes built-in navigation support. With GPS-based maps and offline access, you can follow the trail confidently and stay on route even without mobile signal.
