Summer lifts

Experience more with the summer lifts

What could be nicer than being on a mountain in summer, enjoying the view, looking down into the valley and literally standing above everyday life? The most comfortable way up is by cable car. That way you can cover a few hundred metres in altitude and save your energy for the mountain. Because up there, there's plenty to discover and experience.

A hike should be well planned

So here are a few important tips for preparing an upcoming hike.

Starting time

Especially in summer, it is advisable to start early enough. This allows you to rest on the mountain pasture or in the forest in the midday heat.

Equipment

Equipment should be chosen depending on the weather and the type of tour.

Here are some must-haves:
> Headgear - cap, hat, headband
> Breathable functional clothing
> Hiking boots - ankle-enclosing shoes, well fitting
> Rain protection - rain jacket, rain trousers
> Sun protection - sun cream, visor cap
> Backpack - capacity 15-35 litres

What to take with you

Different things are necessary depending on the weather and the length of the tour, but there are a few things that should definitely be packed.

Cash, ID, hiking map, mobile phone, summit snack (fruit, nuts, muesli bars, glucose, water), sun protection, rain protection, clothes for changing, first aid kit, blister plasters

Tips for packing your backpack
> Stow things that are used frequently in the lid compartment.
> Place heavier items close to the back.
> If possible, place lightweight items in the bottom compartment and fill the remaining space.

Walking time

In the mountains in particular, a hike can take a very long time and must be very well planned. Around four kilometres can be covered in an hour in slightly hilly terrain, and if the paths are steeper, almost 300 metres in altitude can be covered. A generous time reserve should always be planned.

Which trail?

The routes are often divided into difficulty levels, so find out about the tour in advance (maps, tourist office, etc.).

Snack

Bring enough water to drink and some snacks - fruit or some glucose tabs are perfect for re-energizing tired legs.

Take a break

Getting there is half the fun - and with taking enough breaks, it's even better.

Use public transport

Many starting points are reachable via public transport. Go by train or bus - and you can leave the car at your accommodation. In the Salzburger Sportwelt region, you can take all busses for only € 1,- per ride - just show your Salzburger Sportwelt Card to the bus driver.

In case of an emergency

Every backpack should contain a first aid pack and possibly a bivouac bag.
The mobile phone/smartphone should be fully charged before the start of the tour in order to be able to make an emergency call (possibly take an outdoor charger with you).
