Alpine Club Vienna
|
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. |

May Meeting & Presentation
 Presentation by: Jack Curtin
Australian Nature
One month in New South Wales. From Sydney, south along the beaches. Inland to Canberra and the once Snowy Mountains. Through the drought ravaged highlands past reservoirs 90% empty. Beautiful areas undergoing many changes because of little water. Meanwhile the politicians squabble over where the remaining water should be diverted. Of course, hikes in the beautiful Blue Mountains before returning to Sydney for the St Patrick’s Day celebrations and the flight back to Vienna. Join me for this arm-chair journey to see how nature differs on the other side of the equator.

One Week Venediger Höhenweg Hike
27 July - 2 Aug, 2008
The Venediger Höhenweg lies in the northwestern part of the National Park Höhe Tauern. The Grossvenediger at 3674 meters/12054 ft. dominates over the largest number of glaciers in the eastern Alps.
The hike officially begins in the Läsorling Group on the south side of the Virgental. That portion, because of glaciers, is now considered quite dangerous so we will begin at Ströden and then hike from hut-to-hut on this high level path never descending below 2000 meters until reaching our final destination north of Matrei i. Osttirol. Parts of the trail are quite close to the glaciers, so spectacular views and photos are likely. For all the information see the TRIP SHEET
