Being native to the beautiful town Gmunden in Upper Austria I grew up hiking mountains on a regular basis. In recent years I conquered a glacier in Chile, I climbed volcanos in Indonesia and I hiked at 5.000 m above sea level in Peru.

I know the mountains in and around Gmunden well and I’ve guided many national and international friends on a hiking tour.

Erlakogel hiking in Austria

My aim is to show the beauty of my hometown to visitors, to bring a personal touch to a stay in Gmunden and to share my hiking experiences with outdoor-active travellers.

As I’m truly passionate about hiking and meeting new people, I’d love to welcome you in my hometown and show you around in the Austrian Lake District.

(I speak fluent GERMAN, ENGLISH and SPANISH.)

Discover the most beautiful trails

If we go on a hike together, I will show you the most beautiful trails with stunning mountain and lake views. Just let me know your level of fitness and I will organize a suitable hike for us!

Disconnect to reconnect

Hiking in Austria’s mountains is a great way to disconnect from everyday life and to reconnect with nature. Deep blue lakes, the smell of pine trees and the fresh mountain air – move all your worries aside for a few hours and just be one with nature.

Professional photos as a souvenir

You will get professional photos with the beautiful views as a souvenir of your hiking adventure. I will bring my camera on the hike to capture the best moments.

"Since I was traveling by myself, this was a great opportunity for me to go on a hike someone else. One of the highlights were the great photos that Maria took of me. I asked Maria to take me on a rather challenging tour and she organized everything. I had a great day and Maria is a great person to talk to. Again any time! Great value for money."

"I highly recommend hiking with Maria. We climbed Kleiner Schönberg and Maria adapted her pace to mine. At the top we took a break and enjoyed the view of the Traunsee. Maria took great photos of me with the beautiful landscape. Great experience!!"
