Holidaying beyond the allergy line at 1930 m

What is often a pious hope for allergy sufferers becomes a real and liberating experience in Obergurgl in the Ötztal Alps of the Tyrol. The secret is a holiday in the mountains where you quickly reach an altitude of 3000 metres. 

That is the place to be – especially if you suffer from one of today’s many allergies. There the air is almost completely free of pollen and has much lower concentrations of allergens that can trigger hay fever, skin rashes or even asthma.

Allergens on the increase

An allergy is a kind of hypersensitivity in the form a pathological immunological reaction. In Europe alone, there are some 80 million allergy sufferers. Their immune systems react allergically to pollens from trees, grasses, cereals and herbs. The resulting irritation of the mucous membranes when the plants are in flower now affects no less than one in three young adults and one in four children. The risk of developing an allergic disorder is dependent on heredity, but today’s diseases of civilisation also play a decisive role.


Allergies are one of the main challenges to health in modern society. Allergic disorders have been known for centuries, but there can be no doubt that there has been a dramatic increase in the last few decades and that the trend is continuing – a truly alarming sign!

… and find relief through a change of scenery. The main thing is to avoid the allergens to which you react so as to be able to enjoy normal everyday life as far as possible.
