Embark on a guided hiking tour with a certified mountain guide on the famous Rax. It is one of the most beautiful alpine areas close to Vienna and offers spectacular views across the Eastern Alps.

Even well-known visitors such as Sigmund Freud sought peace and inspiration in the mountains around Vienna.

Many day trips from Vienna show you the Alps from a distance. On this tour you step into the mountains and experience them up close.

Begin your adventure with a comfortable and scenic car/van ride from Vienna to the trailhead.

Experience forests and rocky trails, taking in breathtaking views of the Alps. Hike about 900 meters up and down over a 10-kilometer route in a comfortable pace adjusted to your needs, with breaks along the way.

Along the way your certified mountain guide can also share practical tips about alpine navigation, map reading and orientation in the mountains.

Stop for a rest and enjoy a meal at a mountain hut (at your own expense).

After a full day in the mountains you return to Vienna in the evening - refreshed, inspired and with unforgettable alpine memories.
