Press Trips Summer 2017

Peter Habeler Anniversary Press Trip

13^th – 16^th September 2017

The iconic Tirolean mountaineer Peter Habeler is celebrating his 75^th birthday this year and we are inviting a select group of journalists from the UK and Holland to discover his home region - accompanied by Habeler himself!

Peter Habeler was the first to climb the Everest without supplementary oxygen alongside Reinhold Messner, and there is a hiking route in Zillertal, Tirol named in his honor. This high-alpine hiking trail, the Peter Habeler Route, makes a complete circumnavigation of the western Zillertal Alps. It is sub-divided into six stages and involves more than 4000 metres of ascent, making it onefor experienced mountain walkers only.

Fit the bill? Then register your interest for this once in a lifetime opportunity.

#austriantime International Press Trip

14^th – 17^th September 2017

Discover Vorarlberg, Tirol and Salzburg on an international press trip this September in line with our Austrian Time campaign.

Austria is, of course, blessed with a topography that’s conducive to exploration - atop mountains, amidst green expanses or on lakes as clear as they come. In the Austrian countryside we achieve what is so often missing in our daily lives - a moment which is ours alone, a moment of #austriantime.

 We have space for one UK journalist to join us on this group trip with highlights including a "creative walk" in Vorarlberg's Bregenzerwald and the chance to experience a select stage of Tirol's Eagle Walk.
