Ever heard the sound of silence? The real kind—broken only by the wind in the trees and the rush of alpine rivers? That’s the Gesäuse for you: Austria's wildest national park and a paradise for hikers who like their mountains rugged, their paths uncrowded, and their adventure authentic.
Your Gesäuse adventure begins in the quiet village of Johnsbach and gently leads you into the lush green heart of Austria’s wildest national park. The trails are smooth, the scenery spectacular—think alpine meadows, curious marmots, and crystal-clear mountain streams. Each day brings a new highlight, with just the right mix of challenge and ease. Perfect for trekkers who love to take their time and savour the journey.
The Intermediate Gesäuse Trek is your ticket to four days of pure mountain magic. Picture yourself hiking through deep valleys carved by the Enns River, crossing panoramic ridges with jaw-dropping views, and sleeping in traditional Austrian mountain huts where the beer is cold and the hospitality is warm.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You have to make your own way to the starting point. The total amount does not include personal transport.
Should you need any form of (public) transport on location, this is not part of the trekking package. This includes the use of taxi, bus, cable cars, gondolas, ferries, etc.
Half-board is included in the price of this trek. Lunch, however, is not. You can get something to eat at the mountain huts along the way.
Your international travel insurance is your own responsibility. Discuss your itinerary with the insurance company before your trek.
Personal expenses on such as souvenirs, drinks, and other similar expenses are for your own account.
