Conquering borders in Austria – #UnitedBySummits

Borders – they divide nations, regions and people. Yet they are by no means natural. Nature, in particular, can’t be restricted by political borders. Likewise, hikers are hardly held back by borders. On the contrary, they overcome them with ease. When you're hiking, you often don't even notice them. The borders are invisible.

When we stand together on a summit, no matter from which side we climbed it and no matter which border we crossed, the experience unites us. We enjoy the same view, have achieved the same objective and we share this experience with each other. We are #UnitedBySummits!

In this Collection, we’d like to introduce you to multi-day Tours in the border regions of Austria that take you to the most diverse mountains and connecting peaks. The routes are not too technically difficult, but some of them lead into the high mountains, where experience in alpine hiking is useful. As you’ll spend every night in different accommodation, it’s important to plan and book in advance.

Follow in the footsteps of the Walsers to Kleinwalsertal, which you can only reach on foot from Austria. In the Kaiserwinkl, you walk along old smugglers' paths and, on the peaks of the main alpine ridge, you discover what connects Tyrol and South Tyrol. On a hike along the Slovenian border you overcome not only geographical borders but also in your mind. Meanwhile, in the Thayatal National Park, you get to know the Austrian-Czech frontier.

The adidas TERREX Freehiker 2 is the perfect companion for your adventures, giving you comfort and confidence on your hiking journeys. Its outsole made of Continental rubber guarantees reliable grip, while the BOOST technology ensures unique energy return and comfort with every step. Moreover, the shoe is made of at least 50% natural and recycled materials, because we see it as our task to conserve resources and avoid plastic waste.

With the right shoes and good planning, nothing stands in the way of your hiking adventure. Overcome (your) limits and experience the unifying power of the peaks!
