Hiking the Eagle Walk

Follow the wings of the eagle, the undisputed king of air: This beautiful long-distance hiking trail crisscrosses all of Tirol on 126 easy to high alpine day stages.

Gliding high up in the sky the eagle has become a symbol of freedom. Silent and soundless he watches the Tirolean valleys and mountains from a bird eye's view. Walkers and hikers in the Tirolean mountains should experience the same light-heartedness. Those who did the Eagle Walk have truly explored Tirol’s beauty.

The eagle gave its name to the scenic long-distance hiking route across Tirol - featuring 126 stages covering some 1,480 kilometers and 87,000 meters altitude difference. Hiking along the Eagle Walk is the best way to experience a country and its people, to discover its charm and character. Anyone, whether easy-going and unhurried or keenly ambitious and raring to go, can find a way to happiness amid Tirol's stunning mountain landscapes.

Additionally, the shape of the hiking route gave the name to the Eagle Walk as it reminds of eagle wings: the main route travels from St. Johann to St. Anton am Arlberg. Also scenic Osttirol and Tirol's secluded side valleys boast their own Eagle Walk stages which take you to the region’s most beautiful spots and greatest peaks.

The nice thing about the Eagle Walk is that it is as easy or as difficult as you want it to be: Hiking the Eagle Walk always creates memories staying with you forever.
