Outsider Magazine Hillwalking Holiday

The beautiful resort of Ehrwald will be your home for this wonderful week of hiking in the Austrian Alps. Ehrwald, a charming Tyrolean village is surrounded by a landscape of beautifully sculpted mountains and picturesque alpine valleys. It has become a perfect destination for hiking, with an abundance of scenic trails.

Experience a fantastic one-week walking trip this summer on the 20th August 2017 to Erwald in the Austrian Tirol. This stunning area boasts the Zugspitze, Germany's highest peak. Don your walking boots and head out on four amazing guided hikes. Two of those will explore the trails of stages 16 and 17 of the famous €˜Eagle Walk€™, the 413km long-distance mountaineering trail, which runs the length of the region. This is pristine hiking through meadows and forests. And for something completely different, you'€™ll also experience a guided glacier hike and get to marvel at the age-old ice and crevasses.

You will be staying in Topflight'€™s very own Hotel Sonnenburg, just a short stroll from Ehrwald and located at the foot of the towering Zugspitze Glacier. This cosy, comfortable hotel has been carefully designed to cater to the needs of walking clubs and groups. The friendly hosts at the Sonnenburg have had years of experience working with Irish groups, and will ensure that your stay here is perfect. At the end of your day you are welcome to enjoy the hotel'€™s cosy relaxation area, enjoy a drink in the bar or perhaps unwind in the sauna.
