Once upon a time … there was an adventurer who sat in his stuffy office and dreamt of high-altitude flights, cold plunges in crystal-clear mountain lakes and lots of mountain fun. Early in the morning, he would have preferred to throw on his airy cycling gear or — even better — his favourite swimming trunks instead of his work suit. At lunchtime, he stirred his third cup of coffee without much motivation while dreaming of tomahawk steaks and the thought of a dry white wine made his mouth water. He spent the end of the working day honking and swearing in the evening traffic, wishing for a helicopter in which he could simply fly away — far, far away, preferably or straight to a well-deserved adventure holiday in Saalbach Hinterglemm. And at night? At night, he woke up from a dream in which a voice whispered the same request over and over again in his ear: ‘Go for it!’

A quick Google search, two clicks to book a room and three days later he was standing in front of us, proudly introducing himself as ‘the spontano’ with a twinkle in his eye and the infamous swimming trunks in his hand. And because we at the Dorfhotel Glücksschmiede love nothing more than giving our guests an atypical adventure holiday, we helped him make his dreams come true over the next few days.

Our Top 3 Spontaneous Adventure Activities: 

If you too are a spontaneous adventurer, here are our current top tips for action, fun and adventure:

• Spontaneous Mountain Fun: Our mighty Glemmtal Alps not only look impressive, they are also the ideal backdrop for lots of mountain fun. Get on your mountain bike and experience the ride of your life on the many exciting downhill trails in Austria’s largest bike region. Fancy a bit more horsepower? Then spontaneously ditch your bike and explore the area on a cool quad bike!
• Spontaneous Cold Plunge: Want to cool off? If you dare, treat yourself to the ultimate refreshment after sporting activities in one of the region’s crystal-clear mountain lakes. Spontano or coward? At just under 15 degrees Celsius, the wheat is separated from the chaff here, even though the cool water is a real happiness booster and releases lots of dopamine. An adventure just the way we like it!
• Spontaneous Helicopter Flight: And if you spontaneously feel like flying really high, hop into our Wolfs helicopter and get a bird’s-eye view of the world. There’s no greater adventure! Plus, who can claim to have taken a private spin through the air?
