Hiking Internationals Vienna

We are a friendly group for everyone who loves to hike in nature and have good company. Beside hiking our focus is on conversation and building friendships.

Quality of Experience
Even though we are a large community, we prioritize a high-quality experience for every hiker. We only accept members who have a profile picture and are a good fit for the group. We also reserve the right to remove members from the group.
Our hikes range from easy social hikes to more challenging mountain hikes. For challenging mountain tours, only participants are allowed who we already know from easier hikes and can thus estimate the hiking strength.

Basic Rules
* Be friendly and inclusive
* Bring suitable shoes, water, snacks, and weather-appropriate clothing.
* Sign up, and please cancel if you cannot attend.
* People who do not respect or recognize other peoples boundaries are removed from the group.
* The journey to the hikes is always by public transport.
* All events are free of charge.

Participation & Group Management
Participation in events is subject to organizer discretion and group management considerations. Registrations may be declined, and participation may be adjusted before or during an event if required for safety, logistics, or the overall group experience.
Only registered participants may join a hike. Unregistered attendees cannot be guaranteed participation.

Important Notes
Hikes may be adjusted or cancelled at short notice due to weather, public transport disruptions, or organizer illness. Updates will always be posted via Meetup as soon as possible.
We strongly recommend membership in an alpine club (ÖAV, NFÖ, or ÖTK). Alpine clubs maintain trails and huts, promote outdoor safety, and provide essential insurance coverage for hikers and rescue services.

Our hikes are purely joint leisure events. The organizers and co-organizers are not certified hiking or mountain guides. Participation is at your own responsibility and risk.
