About this trip

  

There is no place more beautiful than the mountain pastures of western Austria and this hiking trip will introduce you to some of the best that these mountains have to offer.


We will meet you at the airport in Zurich where we’ll board the train for Austria, switching onto a smaller valley train line to bring us to Schruns in the Montafon Valley. There we’ll check into Hotel Auhof which will be our headquarters for the next 8 nights.


Each morning we’ll set out directly on foot, or start with a cable car ride, to explore a new part of the valley. The difficulty of the hiking will be moderate, as we will generally traverse the sides of mountains, rather then climb directly up or down. 


For lunch we’ll picnic or eat at a mountain hut and at the end of the day we’ll return to our hotel for a spell in the hot tub or sauna before settling into a gourmet dinner.

  

About the Hiking

As this valley in Austria is a ski center in the winter, there are a number of major cable cars which we’ll use to climb out of the valley and quickly arrive above tree line. Once there, we’ll be walking through mountain pastures and over an occasional pass. While we won’t be rock climbing or crossing any glaciers, the hiking will be of an intermediate nature and there will be few ways to cut a day’s walk short. The trail surface can be rocky or muddy in sections.


We ask that all hikers on this trip have good hiking equipment, be in moderate to good condition, and be ready to carry oneself on foot throughout the day. If you have any questions about whether this trip is appropriate for you, please contact us so we can talk it over together.


The Hotel Auhof

We’ll enjoy comfortable rooms in this three-star hotel that measures up to and exceeds Austria’s high standards for hospitality. The rooms each have private bathrooms and comfortable beds.

Spa facilities at the hotel include sauna, steam room and Kneipp pool. 

Austrian hotels are known as much for their cuisine as their lodging and we’ll be well fed with a large breakfast buffet and a four-course dinner each night. Vegetarians can be easily accommodated.

Traveling can be stressful, but we take the worry out of travel by handling all the hard bits for you. We do the planning, book the hotels, and reserve your restaurant. We know the villages to visit, the vineyards to tour, and the cooking classes to attend. We set all this up for you. Then we make your trip easy. First we pick you up at the airport in a small van and whisk you to your hotel. We travel with you from place to place, from activity to activity, and finally deliver you back to the airport for your flight home.

This trip exceeded my expectations!! Both Mimi, our "cultural guide", and Roberto, our Spanish teacher, were perfect for this experience, and did a masterful job of collaborating to meet the needs of everyone in the group. The whole was delightful and very comfortable, including the pool and patio, a welcome oasis on warm sunny afternoons! The cultural experiences were exceptional, and really made me want to experience more of this very special region and its' people. And the food in Oaxaca was fabulous. It'll be hard to enjoy American-style "Mexican food".

For me, this trip will be up there with "one-of-lifetime" beautiful experiences, because it was well organized, with a tone of flexibility. Every single one of the daily excursions was fascinating, enjoyable and interesting,. I felt taken care of, and I won't forget to mention the increase of conversing in Spanish with more confidence..

I had a great experience! Loved getting acquainted with Oaxaca, meeting new people and making new friends. The program was well balanced with class time, places of local interest---visiting Teotilain Del Valle, was one of my favs, it I HAD to choose. I thought there was a good amount of time to explore on our own and I felt very safe. Monte Alban was also, amazing. Good choices for eatting out with the group. Mimi and Roberto worked well together--and I would add that in my case, as the week progressed, I found it harder to keep up with the pace and could have use a bit more translation to English. Having said that, I still got so much out of speaking in class and outside of class---I was a bit out of my comfort zone, but that's not a criticism--it has pushed me to want to continue to learn and speak the language. Thank you Bob and Cicely for a great experience, I appreciate all the work that was done to prepare us for a great adventure! -Gloria

My Spanish improved when i wasn't looking. How did that happen? Delicious dinners every night. Great to be with a small group.

What a fabulous trip! Cicely, Bob and Bev are the greatest guides, they gave us all such a well rounded experience in Provence. Thank you for making my first introduction to France an experience I will always cherish. Merci beaucoup
