Hiking vacation in the mountains - best the East Tyrolean way

In and around East Tyrol, nature shows itself from its most beautiful side. Unspoiled landscapes, wonderful fresh air and dreamlike scenery quickly make everyday stress disappear. By the way, this applies to every season. Whether summer, spring or winter, immerse yourself - in an unspoiled nature that fascinates and captivates old and young alike. 


Like no other place, the Defereggen valley is suitable for hiking vacations. Why?

The Defereggen valley extends around the villages of St. Jakob, St. Veit and Hopfgarten. It is extremely quiet due to its geographical remoteness and therefore ideal for all vacationers who long for relaxation. The valley is located in the middle of the Hohe Tauern National Park and is surrounded by majestic peaks that stretch sublimely over the entire valley. On the one hand, this allows for a real retreat and, on the other hand, the opportunity to experience nature - with all your senses. 

We look forward to welcoming you personally to our Gasthof Edelweiss very soon!
