Austrian Alps near Großglockner Been there with my two kids (2 and 4). We live in Vienna; therefore, my kids had been to the Alps before, but this was the first time for them in a high alpine region, after the treeline and with glaciers.

But I feel like these aren’t sufficient ways to get a deeper understanding of the country I’m visiting while I…
