A summer full of adventure
The three-thousand-meter peaks of the Hohe Tauern National Park form the impressive backdrop for your summer vacation. Majestic views accompany you while hiking, climbing, biking or rafting in the mountains. A special highlight is fly fishing in our own waters.
Whether it's a sporty, challenging summit tour or a leisurely excursion for the whole family - the possibilities are endless. As part of our weekly program, we also organize excursions and guided tours. Of course, we are also happy to give you individual tips - after all, we know every bush and every stone in the Defereggental.
Hiking
Hiking in the mountains is always an impressive experience. You simply can't get enough of the lush green valleys, the picturesque villages, the rugged peaks and the bright blue sky. Anyone who has ever climbed a peak and felt this indescribable feeling of happiness knows what we're talking about.
Five times a week you can accompany our entertainer Andi on his tours. He knows paths of all levels of difficulty and has an exciting story to tell about every place. If you prefer to go hiking without a guide, it's best to take our alpine hiking package with you: hiking equipment, maps, tour tips and, last but not least, a delicious packed lunch.
Mountain biking and e-biking
Whether you're sporty on a mountain bike or more comfortable on an e-bike - countless tours await you around the Jesacherhof that will inspire you! Defereggen Mountains, Rieserferner, Hohe Tauern and Lienz Dolomites - these mountains are your playground. Well-signposted cycle paths, mountain bike routes and downhill trails meander through the impressive natural landscape. Fragrant forests, crystal-clear mountain lakes and rustic alpine huts line your path.
Fly fishing
Good fishing! Hobby and sport anglers will find a true fishing paradise in the 25-kilometer-long hotel's own waters.
From the end of May to the end of October we invite you to go fly fishing in wild, romantic mountain streams with a width of 4 to 30 meters. Your supervising fisherman, Michael Jesacher-Schneider, will personally show you the area and give you valuable tips. In the in-house fishing shop you will also find all the fishing equipment you could wish for. Are you an enthusiastic fly fisherman, but you can't really get your family excited about it? Then the Jesacherhof is the right place for you. While you make your big catch in the Schwarzach, your sweetheart relaxes in the wellness area and your kids have fun in the child and youth care. We offer special offers for fly fishing in Austria at the Hotel Jesacherhof.
