Hiking - unforgettable experiences in the Tennengau region

Bad Vigaun at the foot of the Schlenken is a perfect location for your walks

“It is still early when we start out on our walk towards the Schlenken. The fresh morning still pervades the valley, whilst the peaks of the surrounding mountains are already caught by the sun. We climb higher and higher towards the edge of the forest. It gets warmer, and we take off a layer of clothing. This is going to be a fantastic walk in the breathtaking scenery of the Tennengau region…”
