Hiking

Hut tours for a (long) weekend

Hiking is all about slowing down, enjoying nature and finding your rhythm – and the best way to do that is by taking your time. It doesn't have to be a demanding long-distance hiking trail that takes many days to complete. A long weekend is also suitable for a taster of hut-to-hut hiking with a relaxing break. Our attractive hut-to-hut combos of two to four days will definitely whet your appetite for more!
