In Austria, hiking is very popular and there is one of the densest networks of hiking trails in the world.
Hiking circuits & Trekking
The ideal starting points to the Austrian Alps are from Salzburg or Innsbruck, from where you can go to both the crystalline and limestone Alps. Most such circuits will not miss the famous Krimml Waterfalls, the Großglockner Road with views of the Pasterze Glacier or the surroundings of the famous Dachstein Mountain.
Classic Treks
- ** Arnoweg **: an epic circular trekking route in Austria approximately 1200 km long.
Support on the trek
Mountain guides are only useful if you are attempting challenging mountain passes and ascents and you are not experienced enough. There are many ways to arrange a course on movement on the glacier, for example.

Maps and orientation in the landscape
All hiking trails are very well marked (red and white signs with the route number). At important crossroads, times for other important points (huts, saddles, peaks) are marked. In almost every city you can buy detailed (1:50 000 or 1:25 000) and accurate maps.
