Last summer, I hiked through the crisp Tannheimer Tal valley in Austria’s Allgäu Alps. The journey up to Bad Kissinger Hütte was breathtaking, with lush forests and melodious cowbells along the way. Though skinny-dipping isn’t for everyone at that altitude in late August, a refreshing apfelschorle and hearty alpine cuisine made for an unforgettable experience. For those looking to escape the summer heat this September, head to Austria’s Central Alps for cooler days and warm mountain hospitality.
