Kitzbühel

Known for: Themed Walks
If you can’t ski the famous Hahnenkamm, then walk it! This is just one of the many themed route options available to walkers in this well-known resort region.

The sporting and social centre of the Alps
In summer the whole region is a veritable paradise for walking, nordic walking and mountain biking. The complete network of managed walks and mountain paths is some 200 miles long, with over 90 marked trails of varying length and grade leading across alpine meadows, through deep green woods and up the mountainsides. The choice is yours: from the demanding climb to the top of the famous Kitzbüheler Horn or across the undulating slopes of Ganslernhang, to a relaxing stroll and swim in the lake at nearby Schwarzsee. Whatever your preference, Kitzbühel and its environs is the place to be.
