Active Alps

Shivers down your spine. Goosebumps on your skin. Adrenaline in your veins. Get ready for 7 days of pure adventure in (possibly) the world’s most beautiful mountains. You’ll ride the rail, hike and bike through the Swiss AND the Austrian Alps. Plus, you’ll have the chance to go paragliding & take a canyon swing over the swooping peaks, and even go white water rafting in the glacial rivers! Epic is an understatement.

Hopfgarten im Brixental

Hello there and welcome to the Alps! We’ll pick you up at Worgl Train Station (included transfer, baby!) and once we’ve all set down our bags at Contiki Haus Schöneck, we’ll kick off the trip officially with a welcome meeting conducted by your Trip Manager. After that, we’ll tuck into an included dinner – made fresh on-site with local ingredients. After dinner, we'll head off for a gentle sunset hike to mark the start of our adventure.

Hopfgarten im Brixental (Including Haiming & Innsbruck)

We’ll start early this morning as we treat ourselves to more of the alps. Next stop? Haiming…Here in Haiming, you can choose to do whatever you like. But we reckon you’d wanna experience some heart-pounding action with white water rafting. After an included picnic lunch, we'll head back to the water for a second round of white water rafting - this time, on a slightly harder route. By the end of the day, you'll be a total pro.Next up, we’ll make our way to Innsbruck, where you’ll have some free time to explore the city and grab a bite to eat.Back in Haus Schöneck, you’ll have plenty of things to dream about tonight…
