Hiking & mountain walking in Flachau
Flachau is the ideal starting point for this "classic" of summer holiday activities. Depending on your fitness and desire you can go leisurely down into the valley through the Enns Floodplains, or go up on a wonderful Alpine hike. A trekking tour into the mountains presents a sporting challenge, where there are a few summits to conquer.
In the Hotel Felsenhof we offer our guests one or two guided hikes a week. In July and August there are also two organised hikes by the Tourist Association in Flachau. Spend a few unforgettable hours with like-minded people and discover the most beautiful areas in the Salzburg Alps.
