PROFIL

“From the glacier to the sea“ – The Alpe-Adria-Trail is one of the leading long-distance hiking trails in Europe. It connects the glaciated peaks of the Hohe Tauern with the coast of the azure blue Adriatic Sea on 43 daily stages and 750km of trail. The way roams through the diversity of the Alps-Adriatic region: from the mountains and lakes in Carinthia, along the emerald green Soca river in Slovenia to the vineyards in Friuli Venezia Giulia. What also distinguishes the Alpe-Adria-Trail is its focus on
bookable hiking products, which are managed by the three booking centres in Obervellach, Tarvisio and Bovec. This is one of the reasons why the Alpe-Adria-Trail has already received many international awards, including National Geographic Traveller. The success story of the Alpe-Adria-Trail can be told briefly but impressively with a few figures: Hikers from 28 nations have meanwhile booked a hiking trip on the trail, more than 500 regional service partners profit directly from its business model, our trail information & booking centre serves 25 international tour operators. In all the Alpe-Adria-Trail generates approx. 10 million euros in regional added value per hiking season. We, the Trail Angels, have been its competent companions since the birth of the Alpe-Adria-Trail. Whether as licensed operators of the official Alpe-Adria-Trail booking centre in Carinthia, as providers of a software client for our trail online management & booking system Bookyourtrail®, or as constant innovation drivers in product development. In addition to our flexible and individualised product architecture, the “bookable stage”, we have set new accents with various trail packages. The “Green Spirit” package has become a pioneer for climate-friendly tourism. Because with the integration of rail travel and regional cuisine, the ecological footprint of a hiking trip becomes even smaller than it already is!
