What more could you want? Sitting on an idyllic mountain pasture after an exciting hike, watching the cows graze and talking with German and international students about everything under the sun...

Good news: That's exactly what we're planning! The starting point of our alpine days will be a rustic alpine hut at 1000 meters in the Schladming Alps in Austria. You can expect exciting and adventurous hikes or summit tours of three to six-hours every day and a cozy chill-out by the campfire/fireplace in the evening. However, we don't just want to hike together, we also want to talk about interesting life topics and hear what you and the Christian faith has to say about them. To this end, we have planned times of inspiring spiritual insights, discussion and reflection every day.
