Up the mountains, ready, go!

The Schladming-Dachstein Region has a wide variety of attractive hiking opportunities in store for everyone. Tours to scenic summit crosses with 360° panoramic views, alpine tarns and waterfalls in glorious settings, along with walks, both adventurous and educational, certain to stir the excitement of young and old alike. 

Your ambition, stamina and love for hiking deserve to be rewarded. Preserve your memories on your smartphone. An absolute “must-have” for your holiday is a digital touring book from Summitlynx – simply download the SummitLynx app and enter the destinations you have reached in your tour diary. Not only does it provide you with a good overview of all the huts, summits and lakes, it also gives you the opportunity to earn hiking pins in bronze, silver or gold.

Here´s how it works:

Download the free “SummitLynx” app from the App Store or Google Play. If you are on Facebook, you can simply sign in using your account, otherwise create a SummitLynx account. You will need to activate GPS on your mobile phone, Internet is not necessary – the app also works off-line. And at that point, you are ready to go!

The menu also includes details about hiking pins and destinations you must reach to earn them.

Once you have reached a particular destination, select the “tour diary” category, double-check that your GPS is active, press the plus symbol in the lower right corner to record a tour waypoint, then add a photograph and a short descriptive text. Tip: If you like your photo, you can immediately share it on Facebook, otherwise simply close the destination you have just reached.

The tour diary keeps a record of all your achievements, which you can then proudly share with friends and family!
