To celebrate my 75th birthday my oldest son and I are planning a day hiking trip to northern Italy and western Austria. We plan to spend about three weeks. We will rent a car. We have some books and some maps and have ordered and received material from tourist offices to help us plan hikes. I know that Summit Post is a mountaineering site but mountaineers often walk through some very nice hiking areas to get to summits. We have found some very helpful information on Summit Post.
I would appreciate receiving suggestions for day hikes in mountain meadows and the like that an old guy can handle. I don't go uphill too well anymore and as a skier I do appreciate the benefits of lifts. Besides recommendations for specific hikes we would welcome suggestions of general areas in western Austria or northern Italy that would be good to focus on.
