about young austria
EXPERIENCE & CONCEPTION - 75 years and yet ahead of its time
For over 75 years, young austria has been synonymous with high-quality children’s and youth travel as well as international summer camps in Austria. Our summer camps give children and teenagers from around the world the opportunity to experience unforgettable adventures, make new friendships, and further develop their personalities. Set in the breathtaking Austrian mountains and natural landscapes, we provide a safe and inspiring environment for a diverse and enriching vacation experience.
Our camps combine sports, outdoor adventures, nature experiences, and creative workshops into a versatile program full of activity, fun, and community – where young people discover new talents, build self-confidence, and gain valuable life experiences. With our long-standing experience, qualified staff, and high safety standards, we create the perfect setting for unforgettable holidays, personal growth, and shared experiences that leave lasting memories.
International Summer camps
You will find this symbol at all our camps. It indicates that children and teenagers from around the world take part. Each year, we welcome over 2,000 participants from more than 50 nations, who come together to share unforgettable summer experiences.
Shared adventures, creative projects, and sports activities quickly bring everyone together—regardless of background or language. Friendships form across continents, new perspectives are gained, and valuable life experiences are created. International encounters foster self-confidence, openness, and intercultural skills—abilities that are increasingly important in today’s global world.
To make travel easier for participants from abroad, we also offer a convenient airport transfer to and from Munich on selected dates.
