Soft golden light, forests ablaze with color—the air is crisp, and the panoramic views seem endless. Fall is simply the best time for hiking! That’s more than enough reason to share our personal tips on fall hiking here on the Feuer und Eis blog. Ready for some hiking inspiration perfect for the fall season? Let’s go—whether it’s just for a long weekend or a multi-stage long-distance hike!
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: accommodations and organized transfers to the starting points of each hike. 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, runs from Munich to Lake Constance, while the Salzburg route stretches 118 kilometers from the city of Mozart through the Bavarian Rupertiwinkl region and the impressive mountain landscape to the Innere Gebirge in Tyrol. All pilgrimage trips can be booked through 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.
