2. guided tours

Guided hikes give you the opportunity to get to know the region, nature and people. Leave the planning of your tour entirely in the hands of your hiking guide. State-certified mountain guides are characterized by their years of experience and comprehensive knowledge of the mountains. With the right company, you can climb the mountains safely - the risk of getting lost or not having correctly assessed the weather is a thing of the past.

The local guides will take you to the most beautiful places. Hike across the border to Italy and then enjoy a bacon tasting in one of the rustic accommodations. Do you prefer an easy tour for the whole family? Then we will be happy to guide you through the herbal landscape of the Nassfeld. The hiking guides are sure to have a recommendation for a suitable refreshment stop during your tour.

3. from the hotel room directly onto the hiking trail

The Millenium Express is just a 10-minute walk from the Hotel Garni Zerza - in summer a cable car that transports you up the mountain to the starting point of many hiking trails and in winter one of the longest ski lifts in Europe. With the +CARD holiday, travel on the cable car is free.

Hiking tips from the Zerza family

  • Hiking over the Watschiger Alm to the local mountain: the Gartnerkofel
  • Impressive pleasure hike between mountains to Lake Wolayersee: you should take a day for this panoramic tour.
