The hiking tri­lo­gy “On the pul­se of the Alps” — from Tegern­see to Venice in three weeks.

Suit­ca­se dama­ge — Fire and ice tou­rism — Expe­ri­ence natu­re actively

Over every moun­tain under your own steam. And a new world behind every pass. On a crossing of the Alps on foot, you not only dis­co­ver new hori­zons, but also get to know yours­elf. Anyo­ne who has ever enjoy­ed a week of sim­pli­ci­ty and free­dom will under­stand why crossing the Alps is boo­ming like no other form of vaca­ti­on. But whe­re should the jour­ney take you? Of cour­se, the natu­re has to be spec­ta­cu­lar, the cul­tu­re along the way inte­res­t­ing. The rou­te its­elf should not be too dif­fi­cult. And ide­al­ly, a cozy hotel with excel­lent cui­sine awaits the tired heroes in the evening. Sounds like our top tour cal­led “On the pul­se of the Alps”! It’s not just one crossing of the Alps, but three: in one week, it’s from Tegern­see to Kitz­bü­hel, then from Kitz to the Dolo­mi­tes and final­ly from the “Pale Moun­ta­ins” to “La Sere­nis­si­ma”. All three parts of the tri­lo­gy have one thing in com­mon: per­fect orga­niza­ti­on and all-round care­free packa­ges inclu­ding lug­ga­ge trans­fer from hotel to hotel and a com­for­ta­ble return jour­ney. Can you alre­a­dy hear the pul­se of the Alps? 

On the pul­se of the Alps 1: From Tegern­see to Kitzbühel

We at Feu­er und Eis Tou­ris­tik come from Lake Tegern­see. So what could be more natu­ral than start­ing a crossing of the Alps right on our door­step? Which we did in 2018. Sin­ce then, thou­sands of hap­py hikers have fol­lo­wed us on our clas­sic rou­te from Tegern­see to Kitz­bü­hel. “Our” ori­gi­nal rou­te leads — as the name sug­gests — direct­ly to the pul­se of the Alps. To the sou­thern lakes of Munich, Tegern­see and Schlier­see. To Kuf­stein, known as “the pearl on the Inn”. To the Berg­dok­tor­haus on the Wil­der Kai­ser. And final­ly to the “cha­mois town” of Kitz­bü­hel with the famous Streif. In terms of wal­king times, alti­tu­de and tech­ni­cal dif­fi­cul­ties, but also in terms of refresh­ment stops and over­night stays — on this Alpi­ne cross on foot, we always wri­te “enjoy­ment” in capi­tal let­ters. On the six stages, hikers can expect bet­ween 11 and 23 kilo­me­ters and 300 to 1000 meters of alti­tu­de dif­fe­rence every day. And in the evening, you can look for­ward to a cozy three- or four-star hotel.

As befits our clas­sic Alpi­ne crossing, we have tail­o­red the tour per­fect­ly to every requi­re­ment. The rou­te from Tegern­see to Kitz­bü­hel is as varied in terms of sce­n­ery and cul­tu­re as your opti­ons are varied: indi­vi­du­al­ly or gui­ded by a cer­ti­fied moun­tain gui­de, with lug­ga­ge trans­fer from hotel to hotel or wit­hout, and the CHARME opti­on with par­ti­cu­lar­ly com­for­ta­ble hotels in the 4*-5* cate­go­ry for the more dis­cer­ning. One tour, count­less pos­si­bi­li­ties for you!

Always included: In addi­ti­on, we have auto­ma­ti­cal­ly inte­gra­ted the Feu­er und Eis tra­vel pro­tec­tion (acci­dent and moun­tain res­cue insu­rance) for you in the tra­vel pri­ce and are always available for you (even on tour) via our 7‑day care­free ser­vice hotline!

On the pul­se of the Alps 2: From Kitz­bü­hel to the Three Peaks 

If you arri­ve hap­pi­ly in Kitz­bü­hel after this hiking week, one thing is cer­tain: you will have saved count­less unfor­gettable expe­ri­en­ces. You may even have tas­ted so much Alpi­ne crosser blood that you are magi­cal­ly drawn to a fol­low-up tour over the main Alpi­ne ridge right into the heart of the Dolo­mi­tes. To whe­re the pul­se of the Alps beats par­ti­cu­lar­ly stron­gly.

From Kitz­bü­hel, home to Toni Sai­ler, Han­si Hin­ter­seer and the pain­ter Alfons Wal­de, you hike con­sis­t­ent­ly south over the Gau­x­joch and the Hart­kai­ser — to the main Alpi­ne ridge in the Hohe Tau­ern Natio­nal Park. At the “Vene­di­ger­blick” you can see “the worl­d’s old majes­ty”, the Groß­ve­ne­di­ger, in all its white might. The area beco­mes incre­asing­ly rug­ged, the val­leys deeper, the rock faces stee­per, the flowers more magni­fi­cent. And in the distance, the ver­ti­cal rock cast­les of the Dolo­mi­tes are alre­a­dy shi­ning.

But first you have to cross the his­to­ri­cal­ly inte­res­t­ing Gsie­ser Törl on the bor­der bet­ween East and South Tyrol. Down in Dob­bia­co, one of the most cul­tu­ral­ly inte­res­t­ing com­mu­ni­ties in South Tyrol awaits. And for the grand fina­le on the last day of the tour, you hike from the Auron­zo hut around the world-famous Three Peaks.

The wort­hy con­clu­si­on to a memo­rable week of hiking. We offer this second leg of our clas­sic Alpi­ne crossing as an indi­vi­du­al tour, as a gui­ded tour and as a CHARME vari­ant. No mat­ter which opti­on you choo­se, you can always rely on one thing: our many years of expertise!

On the pul­se of the Alps 3: From the Three Peaks to Venice 

Arri­ved in the “Pale Moun­ta­ins” and fan­cy the sea? Then tre­at yours­elf to the third and final part of our On the Pul­se of the Alps tri­lo­gy during your third sum­mer of crossing the Alps — or per­haps even imme­dia­te­ly after­wards? — the third and final part of our On the Pul­se of the Alps tri­lo­gy! This Alpi­ne crossing starts in Cor­ti­na d’Am­pez­zo, the 2026 Olym­pic city. From the char­ming moun­tain town bet­ween Tofa­na and Cris­tal­lo, you hike south in six stages to Venice, one of the most beau­tiful cities in Euro­pe.

Along the way, you will expe­ri­ence secluded forest paths, pan­o­r­amic views, inte­res­t­ing towns such as San Vito di Cado­re and Tre­vi­so — and spec­ta­cu­lar moun­tain ran­ges that are litt­le known here. In Bel­lu­no, anci­ent cul­tu­re and tra­di­tio­nal cus­toms beck­on, while the famous Pro­sec­co is grown in the viney­ards of Val­d­ob­bia­de­ne. And on the Lido in Venice, the ape­ri­tivo tas­tes twice as good — with the cer­tain­ty of having com­ple­ted one of the most beau­tiful mul­ti-day tours in the Alps.

As always, we include com­for­ta­ble hotels and lug­ga­ge trans­fers as well as the return jour­ney on request. You can eit­her tra­vel with a gui­de or be gui­ded indi­vi­du­al­ly with GPS or a map. The­re is no more com­for­ta­ble, safe and exci­ting way to cross the Alps. Part three of the tri­lo­gy “On the pul­se of the Alps” from Cor­ti­na to Venice, or: saving the best for last!
