Alpine Summer
8 Days
You can...
- Explore the Tirol region of the Alps
- Go rafting, walking, climbing, tubing...
- Visit a Kneipp village (hydrotherapy)
This multi-activity trip is set amidst the amazing scenery of the renowned Tirol region. Arriving in Salzburg, you'll drive to your base in the Austrian Alps. During your week-long stay most activities are included (rafting, bouldering, climbing, inner tubing) but there are also free days for you to choose what you want to do (riding, walking and mountain biking).
As this is a ski area in winter, you can buy a lift-pass to reach the tops of the Kitzbuheler Alps and then take a gravity-assisted walk back down (popular with the children!).
