Valley hikes offer a perfect combination of light activity and enjoyment of nature. With no steep climbs, they are ideal for families, older people and less experienced hikers. They often lead through idyllic landscapes with lakes, rivers, meadows and picturesque villages and allow for relaxing breaks at mountain pastures or viewpoints.
Most of the valley hikes are particularly child-friendly. Flat paths and short distances ensure little effort. In addition to valley hikes, themed hikes are also suitable as family hikes. Here, children are guided through various themed trails. Pure adventure for the little ones!
We think that all valleys have their own charm. However, as we can't list all the valleys, today we recommend the Gschnitztal, the Mieminger Plateau (which actually belongs to the Inntal), but also the Kaunertal, which has its own flair with its reservoir and glacier at the end of the valley.
Hikes in the valley are generally less demanding than mountain tours and are particularly suitable for people who want to try their hand at hiking, families or simply for leisurely strolls. They usually run along well-maintained and signposted paths without major differences in altitude. Depending on the length of the route and the weather, you should also take suitable clothing, water and food with you. A checklist for packing your hiking rucksack can be useful.
