It is getting warmer, nature awakes again from her hibernation. While there is snow still high up on the peaks, the first hikes can be made further down in the valley. Observe in your hiking holiday, as the first buds sprout, the trees and meadows are getting greener and here and there flowers are already blooming. Please note that in April and May not all cable cars and buses leave.

When the first snow falls high up in the mountains, the alpine huts gradually close and the livestock is back in the valley long ago, autumn is the best - and the distance view is usually the best. Even though you can not get high up, autumn hikes have their own charm. Enjoy the rustle under your feet, the smell of damp leaves and the colorful leaves of the trees. Experience autumn in Schladming and the surrounding area with all your senses.
