Mountain sports with their wide range of offers seem to have arrived in the 21st century: traditional sports are juxtaposed with adrenaline-charged and cross-age trend sports. The modern (mountain) guest is always on the move, and it is important that his luggage on the journey home should ideally be full to the brim with experiences.

Fishing, for example, is more popular than ever before. What clearly speaks for fishing: it is possible at any time of the day or night. The image of "old men's sport with folding chair" is also long outdated, more and more families and young people are venturing into this hobby. Those who prefer it a bit wilder, more dynamic and more daring can also try rafting, canyoning, kite surfing or kayaking, for example - numerous top hotels offer such adventures.

Something like forest bathing, for example, a tried and tested method from Japan.
