Hiking in Austria in Autumn
Hiking in the Austrian Alps
At the end of the Paznaun valley, on the border to Voralberg and Switzerland, you can experience a very special atmosphere in the Autumn. The low-lying sun, the autumnal forests and the picturesque mountain backdrop of the Silvretta-region make hiking in the Austrian Alps in the autumn an unforgettable experience.
In-front of this backdrop numerous kilometres of pathways wind their way through the valley and up the mountains. Climb the 3000m mountains, or walk to Ischgl or, if you fancy something a little farther, make your way along the Silvretta Pass road to Vorarlberg. You can then catch the bus back to Galtür.
At the edges of the paths you’ll be able to discover many flowers and plants that have been able to evolve undisturbed, due to the remoteness of this mountain valley. At dawn and dusk, if you’re lucky, you may run into some of the original inhabitants of the valley: Foxes, deer, badgers, marmots and many others are often spotted at these quiet times of the day. You’ll be at an advantage with the right walking equipment:
- Walking boots
- Suitable clothing
- Snacks and drinks
- Binoculars (don’t forget your tele-lens, too)
If it should happen to rain, Galtür has plenty of alternative activities to walking to keep you entertained in the autumn in Tyrol. Relax and enjoy the many treatments on offer at the spas or make the most of the variety of things on offer at the sport- and cultural centre in Galtür. The indoor tennis courts, the swimming pool and the bowling alley are all great fun options for rainy days.
