The most beautiful hiking events in Tyrol

Hiking events are organised hikes with a fixed date, a pre-planned route and a clear challenge. You often hike in a group, with refreshment stops and an incentive programme. Depending on the event, the focus may be on enjoyment, sporting achievement or both.

The range of offers extends from short, easily manageable routes to long distances on high-altitude trails. Many events are designed to bring together participants of different ability levels – it is important to assess your own abilities realistically and to be in suitable physical condition.

Depending on the event, there are both short and long distances on offer – ranging from compact day walks to really extensive tours. Some formats are deliberately designed to be a sporting challenge, whilst others are all about enjoyable Hiking in stages.

Many hiking events follow high-altitude trails offering spectacular views, though depending on the event, they may also cover shorter or longer distances with varying terrain. The focus is usually on panoramic views, a clear route and a well-marked challenge.
