Alpine Club Vienna

Group Activities


The Alpine Club Vienna – a branch of the Alpine Federation OEAV, Section Austria – is a club that provides English speaking people living in Vienna to “get outside and get involved” in Austria. The group was founded in 1995, bringing together two groups of people. Non natives to Austria whose German is not quite where they would like it to be, and Natives of Austria who enjoy an English Speaking Club. In a true win-win situation, these two sides meet and explore what the Alpine environment offers, mutually sharing a love and commitment to the outdoors.

Regular meetings and events are the backbone of the club, and spontaneous events add even more opportunities to get outside and get involved. The club is formed from 100% volunteers and works with a “friends inviting friends” guiding principle. We are not tour guides, and we do not offer our services for a fee. However, we can bring you into contact with individuals who do just this.
Each leader agrees to lead one or more events throughout the year. They plan it, and share their experience with the rest of us.

JULY MEETING & PRESENTATION

Presentation by: Laura Perez-Burgos



    Hiking Mallorca


resized_Mallorca-1



Even though Mallorca is mostly known for its foreign tourism, beaches and parties, it also has a range of mountains called La Sierra de Tramuntana, that calls to be explored. This lime formation, with many peaks around 1000 meters high and several above that, offer countless easy to difficult hiking possibilities. The landspace is rocky, bizarre and captivating. There are also trails that take you along the shore with fantastic sea-views. And most importantly, while everyone is sun-bathing at the beach, you can really find your solitude up at the summit and still come back home with a superb tan!

ZILLERTALERALPEN - BERLINER HÖHENWEG

This is a multiday high alpine tour in the Zillertaleralpen, following the Berliner Höhenweg for much of the hike. The route starts in the Vals valley and heads up to Geraer Hütte before joining the Höhenweg at Olpererhutte on the second day. The daily stages lead along existing roads and walkways in alpine and high alpine terrain, offering spectacular mountain views. The route deliberately avoids crossing glaciers and rock passages requiring a rope to climb. See the trip sheet for all the details. Hurry to register - only a few places remain.TRIP SHEET
