Indulgence and action?
Indulgence or action?

Autumn wasn’t made for hurrying, but it wasn’t made for standing still, either. Hiking around St. Anton am Arlberg in September lets you experience the ideal combination of active fun and flavour. Plus, awe-inspiring altitude gain, colourful trees, hearty bites, and moments that you won’t soon forget.

Planning is usually good. We believe that the perfect hiking holiday at Arpuria starts with a handful of questions: not to Google, but to ask yourself.

What do I really feel like doing?
Maybe that’s not reaching the highest heights, but savouring the mountain air. Enjoying movement that’s inspiring rather than challenging. Exploring narrow paths that lead to unknown places and brighten your mind.

How does September taste?
Like fresh Alpine butter. Like Speck bacon, full of the flavour of woodsmoke. Like freshly prepared cranberries with fluffy Kaiserschmarrn pancakes on the sun terrace. Here, hiking can be incredibly indulgent, with tasty treats and amazing views.

Can hiking be fun and filling?
Absolutely! On the paths around your Hidden Luxury Mountain Home, you’ll find all kinds of things that make life taste that little bit better. If you set off early, you can settle down at a hut with a cool drink or a cup of hot chocolate (it’s finally that time again)!

What makes the paths here special?
The variety. From the steep ascent to the Rendlalm to the panoramic trail with gentle elevation: Mt Arlberg shows its most colourful side in September. Gold, copper, deep green, and right at the heart of it all: you.

Do I need to know my way around to enjoy it?
Not at all. A good starting point – Arpuria! – a curious mind, decent equipment, and a good appetite are all you need.

What does hiking in the Mt Arlberg region feel like?
Like freedom.

And after the mountains?
When your legs are pleasantly tired, your cheeks are still cool from the afternoon air, and your rucksack is empty but your heart is full, then the second part of the enjoyment begins. The Aria Spa awaits you with soothing warmth that spreads through your muscles like the satisfying feeling after a day’s hiking. The sauna steams quietly and outside the sky slowly turns a reddish gold. Perhaps a dip in the pool or a few quiet minutes on a lounger while your thoughts wander over today’s routes. That’s what Mt Arlberg feels like in September: lively, grounded, relaxing. In a word: wonderful.
