Best conditions

The Turracher Höhe is predestined for a vacation without allergy complaints.

TOLERABLE HIGH MOUNTAIN CLIMATE

Certain climatic stimulating factors of the high mountains such as temperature conditions, wind, irradiation of UV light and air pressure ratio have a favorable effect on the organism.

LOW IRRITANT HIGH ALTITUDE AIR

Pollen-reduced environment - even during the main flowering season.

MITE AND MOLD FREE ENVIRONMENT

The air is too thin, therefore house dust mites are not viable at this altitude. High air purity due to low air pollution - no car through traffic.

Hiking is good for the soul!

An active vacation in the mountains has also extremely positive effects on so-called civilization illnesses such as high blood pressure and metabolic disturbances. The cardiovascular system is boosted by a longer hiking vacation and as a positive side effect the high altitude air stimulates the metabolism – the calories tumble faster and the endurance capacity is increased!
