Winter Walking

Winter walking in the Tiroler Oberland

An ideal altitude and 130 kilometres of prepared routes for winter hiking make the Tiroler Oberland the perfect place for leisure hikers as well as those with sporting ambitions.

We recommend it because:

  • Spectacular high-valley landscapes: winter trails with panoramic views, e.g. the Adlerblick in the Kaunertal or around the Pfundser Tschey nature reserve
  • The unique glacial landscape of the Pitzal and Kaunertal glaciers
  • Guided Nature Watch tours through the Kaunergrat Nature Park

Moonlight Picnic

Far from the brightly lit cities, in the unspoilt high valley beneath the clear starry sky, you can witness unforgettable celestial events such as nights of shooting stars, meteor showers and new moons.
