KNOWLEDGE COTTON APPAREL x THETRAVELBOOK
Working with a brand like Knowledge Cotton Apparel is something I’m genuinely grateful for. As a Danish company built on the same visions and values I live by, it feels less like a collaboration and more like a natural partnership. Over the years, their clothing has become my second skin — so much so that 99% of my wardrobe today is made up of their pieces.
And that’s not just a statement of style. Their designs truly fit every part of my life. Whether I’m setting out on a demanding outdoor adventure, walking into a city meeting or dressing for a festive evening, Knowledge Cotton Apparel is what I reach for. It’s timeless, durable and versatile, so I never have to compromise between function, comfort and aesthetics.
When I packed for my latest trip, the choice was effortless. Layer by layer, my suitcase filled with clothing I knew would work no matter what the journey brought: warm enough for chilly mornings in the mountains, polished enough for dinner in the city, and casual enough to simply enjoy the moment. There’s a kind of peace of mind in knowing that what you wear will carry you through every setting.
Driving to the Austrian Alps by Electric Car
The journey begins quietly, in a fully electric car, along Austria’s scenic routes. From vibrant cities to tranquil mountain villages, the road passes rolling meadows, ancient forests and shimmering lakes. Travelling this way not only reduces your carbon footprint — it also brings you closer to the landscape you are driving through.
This trip was the perfect stage to bring those values to life: eco-friendly travel, breathtaking landscapes and pure relaxation high in the Austrian Alps. Driving deeper into the Schladming-Dachstein region, lush valleys and towering peaks opened up, leading towards a spa retreat surrounded by untouched alpine nature.
Discover Austria’s Majestic Mountain Landscape
Upon arrival, you’re greeted by some of Austria’s most iconic views. The Dachstein Glacier, with its ice caves and panoramic viewpoints, invites exploration. The region’s diverse terrain offers hikes for everyone — from gentle alpine walks to challenging mountain ascents — each trail revealing sweeping views, hidden waterfalls and alpine flowers.
Whether you’re wandering through meadows full of wildflowers or taking in the mountain panorama from a cable car, every experience deepens your appreciation for this pristine environment.
A Mountain Spa Retreat
After a day of adventure, there’s nothing better than retreating to a spa hotel high in the mountains. This isn’t just any hotel; it’s a sanctuary built around harmony, sustainability and well-being. With eco-conscious architecture, renewable energy and organic, locally sourced food, it shows what responsible luxury can look like.
Here, you can enjoy natural treatments inspired by alpine herbs and minerals, soak in outdoor thermal pools overlooking the Dachstein massif, or find calm through meditation and yoga in the fresh mountain air. It’s the kind of place where you slowly feel yourself land again.
A Coffee Break With a Conscience: Dachsteinkaffee Rösterei
No mountain retreat is complete without a rich, warming cup of coffee. On your trip, make time for a visit to Dachsteinkaffee Rösterei, a local coffee roastery known for its commitment to quality and sustainability. Here, you can learn about the artisanal process of roasting organic coffee beans sourced from environmentally responsible farms.
A tasting of freshly roasted beans brings out deep flavours and aromas. And the best part? A cup of Dachsteinkaffee not only fuels your next adventure, it also supports local craftsmanship and eco-conscious practices — a meaningful touch to a mountain wellness trip.
