Our neighbor, Austria, is a country characterized by a vast number of truly beautiful mountains, perfect for spending a holiday of a few weeks in search of the right trekking.
Their proximity to our Alps makes them perfect both for incredible skiing in winter and for spending summer holidays immersed in greenery and coolness, perhaps while exploring alpine pastures starting from a mountain hut as a base.
Planning mountain holidays in Austria, in short, is all about preparation and analysis. Those who do it look for the right offer near the right mountains, so they can gift themselves the experience of a lifetime in close contact with nature.
At Meeters, we have considerable expertise on the subject, having organized events several times in these places; we firmly believe in the importance of quality leisure time and through our events we try to offer people opportunities to make new friends Stubai.
Stubai is the name of a large Austrian alpine valley, known for hosting one of the largest glaciers in the Alpine arc, one of the few that also allows skiing until early summer.

The Stubai valley is a particularly democratic place, also thanks to its nature as a large valley; there is space and activity for everyone: from trekking for children to
more adventurous trails for those who want to experience the thrill of effort. The Stubai valley is not far from the Italian border and represents an excellent way to enjoy a nice holiday in Austria without having to cover too many kilometers. Zillertal
We remain once again near the Italian borders to talk about Tyrol, a region deeply intertwined historically with our country.
The Tyrol region hosts several valleys and just as many rivers, which act as separators between the various mountains that Austrians share with our
Trentino-Alto Adige
. The Zillertal valley, named after the eponymous Ziller river, is one of the most interesting.We are talking about a particularly touristic area offering a full range of experiences: 1,400 kilometers of trekking routes with options for every skill level, 1,200 kilometers of cycling paths, and as many as 150 mountain huts where you can take a moment for yourself and your loved ones. Lienz Dolomites
It’s impossible to talk about Austria without mentioning the Lienz Dolomites: a small mountain range that, despite the name, resembles the Pale Mountains more than the peaks that made a certain part of Northern Italy famous.
These Dolomites are located near the aforementioned Zillertal valley and are often associated with the nearby (but less charming) Villgraten mountains. In this context, the town referred to is undoubtedly Absam, a settlement of 6,800 inhabitants located at 632 meters altitude at the foot of the Karwendel mountains.
In general, the Lienz Dolomites extend in East Tyrol for over 40 kilometers in length; the entire mountain range is positioned south of the city of Lienz, which is the capital of the East Tyrol region. The highest peak of this mountain range is the Große Sandspitze at 2,770 meters, followed by the Spitzkofel (2,717 meters), the Kreuzkofel (2,694 meters), the Hochstadel (2,680 meters), and the summit of Boses Weibele (2,521 meters). The Long Tour of the Romantikstrasse If you’re an avid cyclist and have time, there’s a route in Austria that might be just right for you. Mountain bike and bicycle lovers can hardly miss the Romantikstrasse offer, a 380-kilometer route connecting Salzburg to Vienna through castles, villages, mountains, monasteries, and

landscapes, and when it’s not, it passes through some of the most beautiful cities and villages in Europe. The departure from Salzburg, for example, takes place within the city’s historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The route crosses the four regions of Salzburg: Upper Austria, Lower Austria, Styria, and the Salzburg region itself..
The Grossglockner Alpine Scenic Road Fans of beautiful roads worldwide, unite: it’s time to discover the Grossglockner. This is the name of the highest peak in all the Austrian Alps at 3,768 meters and also the site of one of the most beautiful roads in the world. Inaugurated in 1935 after impressive engineering efforts, the Grossglockner Alpine panoramic road stretches for almost
kilometers with 36 hairpin bends between Carinthia and Salzburg.
Along the way, the road crosses flower-filled meadows, eternal snowfields, crystal-clear waterfalls, and alpine lakes: in between, there are countless attractions to stop and relax: from nature trails to viewpoints where you can let your gaze wander in beauty, as well as museum exhibits, picnic areas, and more.
There is an important note to keep in mind for mountain holidays in Austria: the Grossglockner Alpine scenic road is not a road you can drive whenever you want. It is a toll road and is only open during the summer period, from mid-May to the end of October, depending on weather conditions.
