Soft gol­den light, colorful forests — the air is clear and the pan­o­r­amic views are end­less. Autumn is sim­ply the most beau­tiful time to go hiking! More than enough reason to unpack our per­so­nal tips on autumn hiking and share them here on the Fire and Ice blog. Rea­dy for some hiking inspi­ra­ti­on to match the fall sea­son? Let’s go — whe­ther just for a long weekend or on a long hike with seve­ral stages! 

Plan­ning the autumn hiking sea­son is get­ting clo­ser and clo­ser — to help you deci­de, we pre­sent this sel­ec­tion of diver­se tours and hiking trails: from star hikes in the cha­mois town of Kitz­bü­hel and on Lake Tegern­see to pil­grimages in Bava­ria or from the Mozart city of Salz­burg via the Bava­ri­an Ruper­ti­win­kel to Tyrol.

Tho­se who pre­fer to expe­ri­ence pure natu­re are in good hands in the south of Bava­ria and should take a clo­ser look at the Isar­win­kel and the Blue Land — defi­ni­te­ly with a detour to the Carib­be­an Wal­chen­see! South Tyrol is par­ti­cu­lar­ly attrac­ti­ve in the fall, when the culina­ry plea­su­re tours are espe­ci­al­ly recom­men­ded. Hikers are spoi­led for choice in the most beau­tiful Alpi­ne regi­ons. What will it be? 

Star hikes in Kitz­bü­hel and on Lake Tegernsee

One accom­mo­da­ti­on, count­less hiking oppor­tu­ni­ties! The diver­se and easi­ly acces­si­ble Tyro­lean regi­on around the legen­da­ry Gams­stadt in the Kitz­bü­hel Alps is ide­al for star hikes — even with a dog. Sou­thern Bava­ria, and the Tegern­see Val­ley in par­ti­cu­lar, is also the per­fect start­ing point for a hiking vaca­ti­on in autumn. From gent­le alpi­ne mea­dows to rug­ged peaks and rustic huts — sur­roun­ded by Lake Tegern­see, Lake Schlier­see and Lake Spitzingsee. 

Espe­ci­al­ly con­ve­ni­ent: accom­mo­da­ti­on and orga­ni­zed trans­fers to the start­ing points of the indi­vi­du­al hikes. Included with Feu­er und Eis Touristik!

Pil­grimage on the Way of St. James — in Bava­ria or from Salz­burg to Tyrol

Switch off and find yours­elf — the fur­ther the path, the easier. The hype sur­roun­ding pil­grimages shows no sign of aba­ting, and the most popu­lar rou­tes in Euro­pe are often “over­c­row­ded” in the truest sen­se of the word. You don’t have to tra­vel far, you can do it sus­tain­ab­ly and wit­hout a long journey. 

The Bava­ri­an Way of St. James, for exam­p­le, leads from Munich to Lake Con­s­tance, while the Salz­burg ver­si­on stret­ches 118 kilo­me­ters from the city of Mozart via the Bava­ri­an Ruper­ti­winkl through the impres­si­ve moun­tain world to Tyrol in the Inner Moun­ta­ins. All pil­grimage tours can be boo­ked at Feu­er und Eis Tou­ris­tik with or wit­hout lug­ga­ge transfer! 

Tegern­see, Schlier­see, Spit­zing­see — the com­bi­na­ti­on of easy hikes in 3 stages, along crys­tal-clear lakes and on pan­o­r­amic paths with lake views — is unbeata­ble. Relax through the beau­tiful foot­hills of the Bava­ri­an Alps wit­hout having to climb too many meters in alti­tu­de, and fur­ry fri­ends are very wel­co­me in the accommodation! 

Mys­te­rious moor­land land­scapes and Carib­be­an lakes — the 8‑day round trip around Wal­chen­see, Kochel­see and Staf­fel­see enti­ces you with spe­cial natu­ral expe­ri­en­ces and pic­tures­que are­as that famous artists such as Franz Marc and Gabrie­le Mün­ter app­re­cia­ted and immor­ta­li­zed in their paintings.
