Hiking the Tirolean Way...
The Eagle Walks’ 280-kilometer long main route runs the length of Tirol: from St. Johann in the Unterland region past the majestic Wilder Kaiser mountain range, on through the Brandenberger Alps, the Rofan and Karwendel mountains, and through the Lechtal Alps to St. Anton am Arlberg. Hiking is the best way to experience, enjoy, and appreciate a country and its people, to discover its charm and character. Hiking in Tirol’s mountains allows you to discover the country’s soul. Those who did the Eagle Walk have truly explored Tirol’s beauty.

Each Trail its Destination

The Eagle Walk was completed this year. The regional routes lead into the side valleys of Inntal, Paznauntal, Kaunertal, Pitztal, Ötztal, Stubaital and Zillertal; into Tannheimer Tal, Kaiserwinkl and through the Kitzbühel Alps. Osttirol also boasts its own small Eagle Walk which takes you to the region’s most beautiful spots and greatest peaks.
