The breathtaking Austrian Alps support a rich diversity of mountain birds and plants, all amidst astonishing alpine scenery. On this leisurely tour, we’ll stay for seven nights at the 4-star Alpen Residence Hotel, situated in the centre of the small Tyrolean village of Ehrwald. Over the course of the week, we’ll use an extensive network of cable cars and chairlifts to explore the surrounding area in depth, never walking more than three miles a day over flat or gently rolling terrain. On our excursions, we’ll botanise and birdwatch past lakes, peaks, woods and meadows, searching for special highland species, and enjoying the sweeping mountain vistas as we go. Each day’s activities will end in mid-afternoon with tea and cake at the hotel, allowing us ample time to relax, wander the nearby woods, or simply slip into the heated pool.

  • Enjoy the Austrian Alps’ epic scenery & fascinating wildlife at a gentle pace
  • Chairlifts take you straight to the best areas – no need for long hikes!
  • Flowers including Alpenrose, Sword-leaved Helleborine & Lady's Slipper Orchid
  • Many other orchids possible too, including the rare Chamorchis alpina
  • Alpine birds such as Snowfinch, Lammergeier, Nutcracker & Golden Eagle
  • Take a spectacular cable car ride up the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain
  • Stay in a delightful 4-star hotel, with heated pool, spa & large gardens

Tell me about Austria …

Austria is a landlocked country in central Europe. It is very mountainous and has temperate and alpine climates. In 788 AD Charlemagne introduced Christianity and, under the Habsburg dynasty, Austria became one of the great powers of Europe. The Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed in 1918 at the end of World War 1. Although Austria is most famous for its mountains, the warm flat lowland region of Neusiedler See is one of Europe’s least known wildlife diversity hotspots.


Neusiedler See lies in an area of Austria which is at a crossroads of landscapes, habitats and cultures. It spans the Austro-Hungarian border and was the first bi-national park to be created in Europe.

The Alps are Europe’s greatest mountain range. Nowhere else on the continent can a visitor find such a variety of dramatic landscapes, and amidst their rugged crags, grassy meadows and river valleys is an equally spectacular diversity of flora and fauna. These remarkable mountains stretch for over 1,200 kilometres and encompass no fewer than seven countries, each of which provides its own singular experience of the region. Although justly famous as a winter skiing destination, it is in spring and summer that these peaks really come to life, when a cacophony of birdsong rings out over endless seas of wildflowers. From their superb butterflies and vivid blooms to their mountainous mammals and special birds, the Alps are sure to fascinate anyone with a love of the natural world.

Set in the beautiful Austrian Tyrol, close to Austria’s border with Germany, the picturesque village of Ehrwald sits at the base of the mighty Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. The 4-star Alpen Residence Hotel, lying at the heart of this small Tyrolean village, will be our base for the week. From it we will enjoy a range of leisurely botanical and wildlife excursions, exploring the magnificent surrounding alpine landscapes of the Tiroler Zugspitze Arena by means of the region’s extensive network of cable cars and chairlifts. These will allow us a very flexible programme of activities, with each day of excursions ending in the mid afternoon with tea and cake back at our hotel, leaving ample time to relax, enjoy the extensive gardens, wallow in the hotel’s warm pool or spa, or take a gentle stroll in the nearby larch woodlands.

Our plan will be to use chairlifts to ascend each day, then walk for up to three miles over flat or gently undulating terrain. On one day we will visit an alpine lake, Heiterwanger See, where a stroll along the shoreline may yield such plants as One-flowered Wintergreen and Fly, Butterfly and Burnt-tip Orchids. On another day, at the top of the Grubigstein cable car, we should find abundant Alpine gems including gentians, rock jasmines, Alpenrose, Red, White and Swordleaved Helleborines and perhaps even Lady’s Slipper Orchids. Time exploring the woods should also be worthwhile – a chance to find such species as Astrantia bavarica, Pink Globe Orchid, Small White Orchid and Lesser Twayblade. We will try to choose a clear and sunny day for the spectacular cable car ride to the top of the Zugspitze itself, where the flora and fauna will be more limited but the views will be breathtaking. The region’s birdlife is typical of the Alps, with Golden Eagle and Lammergeier always possible overhead, Nutcracker and Western Bonelli’s Warbler in the forests, plus Snowfinch, Alpine Chough and Alpine Accentor on the higher slopes. If the weather is kind, there should be numerous colourful butterflies on the wing too. After a leisurely week of botanising and wildlife-watching, we will return to Munich Airport to catch our flight home.

Grade A – we will enjoy walks of up to around 3 miles each day, all taken at a leisurely pace. Although we have carefully selected our walks to avoid sustained stretch of uphill or downhill walking, and the terrain is easy to walk on, as we are in the mountains there will always be some uphill and downhill sections. We would recommend bringing walking poles, though these can also be borrowed from the hotel (subject to availability).

As each member of the group will be provided with their own “Z-ticket”, it will always be possible to do more, or less, or something completely different, than the main party. The Z-ticket also gives us free use of the local buses for anyone that wishes to return to the hotel separately to the rest of the group.

Summary

Set in the beautiful Austrian Tyrol, close to Austria’s border with Germany, the picturesque village of Ehrwald sits at the base of the mighty Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. The 4-star Alpen Residence Hotel, lying at the heart of this small Tyrolean village, will be our base for the week. From it we will enjoy a range of leisurely botanical and wildlife excursions, exploring the magnificent surrounding alpine landscapes of the Tiroler Zugspitze Arena by means of the region’s extensive network of cable cars and chairlifts. These will allow us a very flexible programme of activities, with each day of excursions ending in the mid afternoon with tea and cake back at our hotel, leaving ample time to relax, enjoy the extensive gardens, wallow in the hotel’s warm pool or spa, or take a gentle stroll in the nearby larch woodlands.

Our plan will be to use chairlifts to ascend each day, then walk for up to three miles over flat or gently undulating terrain. On one day we will visit an alpine lake, Heiterwanger See, where a stroll along the shoreline may yield such plants as One-flowered Wintergreen and Fly, Butterfly and Burnt-tip Orchids. On another day, at the top of the Grubigstein cable car, we should find abundant Alpine gems including gentians, rock jasmines, Alpenrose, Red, White and Swordleaved Helleborines and perhaps even Lady’s Slipper Orchids. Time exploring the woods should also be worthwhile – a chance to find such species as Astrantia bavarica, Pink Globe Orchid, Small White Orchid and Lesser Twayblade. We will try to choose a clear and sunny day for the spectacular cable car ride to the top of the Zugspitze itself, where the flora and fauna will be more limited but the views will be breathtaking. The region’s birdlife is typical of the Alps, with Golden Eagle and Lammergeier always possible overhead, Nutcracker and Western Bonelli’s Warbler in the forests, plus Snowfinch, Alpine Chough and Alpine Accentor on the higher slopes. If the weather is kind, there should be numerous colourful butterflies on the wing too. After a leisurely week of botanising and wildlife-watching, we will return to Munich Airport to catch our flight home.

Grading

Grade A – we will enjoy walks of up to around 3 miles each day, all taken at a leisurely pace. Although we have carefully selected our walks to avoid sustained stretch of uphill or downhill walking, and the terrain is easy to walk on, as we are in the mountains there will always be some uphill and downhill sections. We would recommend bringing walking poles, though these can also be borrowed from the hotel (subject to availability).

As each member of the group will be provided with their own “Z-ticket”, it will always be possible to do more, or less, or something completely different, than the main party. The Z-ticket also gives us free use of the local buses for anyone that wishes to return to the hotel separately to the rest of the group.

Focus

Alpine flowers, plus birds, butterflies and the beautiful mountain scenery.
