Autumn in the valley
The Wildschönau Valley Autumn event series once again invites you to enjoy special experiences in the autumnal mountain landscape from September 12th to October 18th, 2026.

In addition to time-honored traditions, visitors can also look forward to new ideas and fresh touches that showcase the enjoyable, authentic, and diverse side of autumn in the Wildschönau.

Autumn time = hiking time
Fall is a particularly beautiful time for hiking in the mountains: crisp air, sweeping views, and the vibrant colors of nature make every hike a memorable experience.
The Markbachjoch cable car in Niederau offers a comfortable ride to the top—it operates until October 18th, 2026 and is included in the Wildschönau Premium Card. The hiking bus to the Schönangeralm, a popular starting point for hikes, is also included in the card and runs through October 18th.
Until October 10th, 2026, guided hikes also invite you to explore together. Many huts and mountain inns are open in the fall as well and look forward to welcoming hiking enthusiasts.
