Garmisch – Meran Alps hut to hut hiking tour

Explore-Share took advantage of my inexperience. I had asked for a beginner level trip, instead, they recommended me a rather advanced trip. Neither Explore-Share nor the guide were forthcoming with information until the very last moment. The guide sold my participation to another outfit about a week before the trip. Neither Explore-Share neither the guide are trustworthy and can be relied upon in making arrangements.

Best time to visit

April to October is the best time for a hiking trip to Austria. June and August offer the best weather conditions but they are also a high tourist season

How long should I stay?

Hiking trips to Austria can range from a day trip to a 1-week journey. Hut-to-hut hiking traverses usually take between 5 to 7 days and they can include locations both in Austria and neighbouring countries like Switzerland or Germany

What’s the weather like?

The weather varies slightly throughout the different regions, but it consists mostly on cold snowy winters (the Austrian Alps are the highest part of the country and therefore, boast the lowest temperatures) and warm sunny summers (not too hot)
