„Only if you walked there, you have truly been there“, Germany’s famous poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe already knew that. We think that,too. That’s why we selected exciting hiking trips as well as hotels, that have the potential to make the heart of a hiker beat a little faster.
Heidi says hey
Within close reach of the Hotel Leitlhof in the Dolomites, a variety of hiking trips start on a regular basis. The two nature parks Drei Zinnen and Fanes-Sennes-Prags offer visitors a great deal of trails through the huge mountains of the Sextner Dolomites. Hiking guide Hermann cares to show hikers unique impressions of the Sextner mountains. Furthermore, free tours start four times a week and guests can register for them at the reception desk the evening before the hike. One especially popular route, is the tour to the Dreizack, where hikers can either climb their way to the top or hike around it, if they prefer a lighter form of activity.
Night ‘n’ Day
In Peru, more specifically between Cusco and the historic sanctuary of Machu Picchu the Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba can be found. Overall five unique tours are offered to adventure seeking guests.

A meadow of edelweiss
The Hotel Outside is located amidst National Park Hohe Tauern in eastern Tyrol. Hiking enthusiasts are able to follow their desire for adventures, when taking part in one of the guided tours that the hotel is offering four to five times a week. Passionate hiking experts are willing to answer every possible question concerning the topic of hiking. On top of that, visitors do not have to worry about equipment either.
