In cooperation with Bergwelten magazine and Bezirksblätter Salzburg, a hiking day is being organised on the Asitz for "mountain enthusiasts" and those who would like to become one. Depending on your fitness level and condition, you can choose between five guided themed hikes. In addition to the hikes, an attractive supporting programme is also on offer.
