Hiking in the mountains - what else you should look out for
When hiking in the mountains, you should always keep an eye on the weather. Rain and sun protection, sufficient provisions and drinking water should always be in your rucksack. Plan your routes based on the weather forecast and be sure to check the time. Bear in mind that you will also need your strength for the descent and may have to rely on the last cable car ride down.
Back at the hotel, you can enjoy pure relaxation on the cozy sunbathing lawn around the Thurnerhof, a delicious dinner, the spacious wellness area and the popular play facilities for the children for a great end to the day.
