From the anecdotes I have heard the summer mountaineering season is in full swing with guides fully booked and busy but hiking/walking tourists still seem to be hesitant to travel even domestically.
We are hoping to stay in Obergurgl and apparently bookings are at an all time low there. Some hotels and apartment blocks don't have any guests at all. Its a really small and quiet place in the summer anyway but they're definitely feeling the pinch. Having a big rockslide and being cut off from the rest of Austria for a month certainly hasn't helped things! You can only get in and out via a big detour via the Timmelsjoch Pass in Italy between 8am and 6pm at the moment!
