Bad Hofgastein, Austrian Alps with your class
The summer programme is built around the outdoors: guided valley walks, cable car rides to spectacular viewpoints, a visit to a working Alpine farm, and an adventure course. The region's landmarks turn the week into a genuine adventure: children explore the medieval cliff-top fortress of Hohenwerfen, walk the cool, roaring chasm of the Liechtenstein Gorge, and — for many the highlight — cross the high suspension bridge at the summit of the Stubnerkogel (2,246m), with the whole valley laid out far below. The valley's famous thermal baths offer the perfect way to unwind after an active day.
On the Move holds ABELIO safety certification and operates to L'Office quality assurance standards — every trip is managed by a dedicated project manager with 24/7 emergency support.
Trip highlights
Crossing the high-altitude suspension bridge at the summit of the Stubnerkogel (2,246m) — with panoramic views across the entire valley far below, this is the moment children talk about for years
Guided visit to the cliff-top Hohenwerfen Fortress and a walk through the dramatic Liechtenstein Gorge — history and geology combined in two of the region's most spectacular sites
Unwinding in the valley's famous Alpine thermal baths after a day on the mountain trails — a memorable contrast that makes the active days feel very well deserved
