Austria in a different light. Fresh air, pure water, green everywhere. Surrounded by high peaks, crystal-clear lakes, open-minded people – vacation in a totally different light, resulting in relaxation for the body, mind and soul. That is the alpine way of life in Austria.

Slowing down, a community feeling, a sustainable way of life

The early moments of a new day, when the morning light hasn’t quite yet dared to come out, and the world is, as it were, sleepily hitting the restart button. Maybe one can already understand what real alpine life actually feels like from these short moments in time? The heartbeat of the city is pumping faster and faster with the first car horns honking and hooting. And even before you get out of bed, you just know what’s going to happen: stop-and-go in the car, pushing in the underground, rushing, hectic, heart palpitations. And in the mountains?

A short moment to take a pause

The day begins differently in the mountains. With the chirping of birds perched in the trees behind the house. With the chiming of parish bells. With the smell of the forest and the meadows coming in through the open window. And the knowledge that the day out here will always involve little moments to take a pause: a two-minute gossip with the postman riding towards me, the glimpse of the glistening glacier through the window, the smell of mowed grass.

Alpine lifestyle: reality instead of a buzzword

What is it exactly, this “alpine lifestyle”? An attitude? But of course. A way of life? Absolutely. The assurance that one is at the right place here and now? Naturally. Something in us that is triggered off by nature and the mountains? Definitely! You’ll get the most varied answers in reply to why people have decided to live in the Alps. They came back from living in the city because they missed the tranquility and clarity of the Alps – or never even left in the first place. The feeling of social cohesion, togetherness and the village community are very important aspects for them. They prefer to jump on their bike and ride home through the pastures at the end of the day, rather than through the industrial areas. They rave on about the energy in the mountains and the fresh air and stillness of the forest; they are the ones who on the weekends, don’t want to have to drive somewhere to experience solitude in nature, when they can dwell right in it. Those who want to breath in deeply. To find peace. To live like a human being.
