Magical morning atmosphere on the Schuhflicker

There are experiences that remain in your heart forever – and our sunrise hike up the 2,214-metre-high Schuhflicker is definitely one of them. Together with our hostess, we set off in the early hours of the morning, when the valley is still asleep and the world is shrouded in gentle darkness. The fresh mountain air awakens the senses, the crunch of the path under our shoes and the soft murmur of nature accompany us step by step.

With every metre of altitude, the sky becomes brighter – first in soft blue, then in warm shades of gold and orange. Once you reach the summit, nature rewards you with a heart-stopping sunrise: the first rays bathe the surrounding peaks in a magical light, and the view stretches across the Grossarl Valley and the surrounding mountains – a moment of silence, awe and pure joy.

Whether you see this special excursion as a sporting challenge or a meditative start to the day, the sunrise hike is an incomparable start to your holiday. Accompanied by the warmth and local knowledge of our manager, you will learn little stories about the region, insider tips and the love for our homeland along the way.

After this experience of nature, the descent down into the valley feels almost like floating – carried by feelings of happiness and the awareness of having experienced something very special. The fresh mountain air, the exercise and the first light of day give you new energy and a deep sense of contentment.
