Nature & Exercise

Majestic landscape

The Schneebergland region captivates visitors with its crisp air, breathtaking views and trails that were once a favourite of Emperor Franz Joseph. Just a short drive from the city, an oasis of nature opens up, offering a welcome escape from the daily grind. Whether you’re out hiking, cycling or conquering a summit – the region invites you to take a deep breath and recharge your batteries.

6 ways to combine nature and exercise

Whether on foot, on two wheels or climbing: the region offers a variety of ways to experience the landscape. Some routes are peaceful and accessible, whilst others demand strength, skill or concentration. Often, the character and level of difficulty change without you having to move to a different location.

Even off the beaten track, the Schneebergland region keeps you on the move: climbing and paragliding offer a bird’s-eye view of the landscape and the surrounding area. Those who prefer a more leisurely pace will find guided nature experiences such as alpaca and llama treks provide a more relaxed way to explore the surroundings – up close, mindfully and away from speed and heights.
