Alpine pearls launch holiday programme

The 28 soft mobility alpine destinations offer exciting and sustainable options

If 24 hours hiking, experiencing life on a farm or immersing into traditions – the 28 alpine pearls await you with attractive softly-mobile holiday offers created for the whole family. Here are a few.

In the Weissensee Nature Park (Carinthia) you can convince yourself of the exceptional diverse culinary offer of the region on a raft on lake Weissensee. On this large raft the best and most renowned chefs serve well-known delicacies of the region. What you eat and drink is free on the raft – but as the raft does not stop anywhere along the shore you need to swim or take a boat to get to there! Next date: 22nd of August

You always wanted to experience life on a mountain farm? In the South Tyrolean Pearls Welschnofen, Deutschnofen and Karneid-Steinegg, situated in the heart of the Dolomites, you have got the possibility to experience ancient farming traditions and help on the farm. Today, the mountain farms in this region are still run according to ancient traditions dating back many centuries and the farmer’s are happy to give you insights into their daily life!

The Bavarian pearl Berchtesgaden is a great spot for hiking with a huge amount of well-marked trails. As a passionate hiker you should not miss the hiking festival which is definitely going to be an unforgettable event.

If you prefer less demanding walks you can join one of the guided theme walks or the guided tour into the heart of the Berchtesgaden National Park with a ranger.
