Winter Walking is offered at Grade 3 - Moderate, no previous experience
required, but a reasonable level of fitness is required.
Winter walking is ideal for those who want an active week in magnificent
scenery, but are not tempted by snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. The
emphasis is on relatively gentle walking at a relaxed pace, with plenty of
time to admire the scenery. We walk mostly on paths and forest tracks, many
of which are cleared or rolled after new snowfall. While there may be some
walking in unprepared snow, winter walking weeks do not use snowshoes.
Each day the leader will carefully assess the situation and choose the route
according to current conditions and those forecast, with the over-riding
priority being group safety. Our leaders are required not to proceed with any
proposed route (including those mentioned in brochure or trip notes) if they
believe the risk to be too high.

Local taxes: many Austrian cities have introduced a tourist tax for
non-residents. The local administration is in charge of the tax, which will
be collected by the accommodation provider at check-in or check-out. This fee
varies depending on the hotel category, the season and number of days of
stay. It is usually between €0.50 and €3 per person per night. For this
trip, please allow around €20, depending on the season, for the week.

Although optional, a tip for the leader at the end of the trip is greatly
appreciated. As a guideline we recommend a contribution between €15 and
