Packing list for a hiking holiday

To ensure your hiking holiday at Hotel Gassner in Neukirchen am Großvenediger is an unforgettable one, one thing matters above all else: proper preparation. As well as plenty of excitement, there are of course a few essential items you’ll need to bring.

We’ve put together a comprehensive list for you to make packing a whole lot easier. What’s more, our hiking service offers you many benefits – you don’t necessarily need to bring your own rucksack and poles; you’re welcome to hire them from us on site. Umbrellas, ponchos, binoculars, a hiking map and personalised tour tips from our hiking hotel’s hiking concierge are, of course, also included.

And now we hope you enjoy packing for your upcoming break in the mountains.
