Hit the ground running at the start of the year and get one step ahead of your inner bastard — now is the best time to set yourself new goals and push yourself beyond your limits. Would you like to spend more time in nature in the new year and do something good for your health in the long term? How about finally tackling a crossing of the Alps? Or discover the most beautiful landscapes in or near the Alps on two wheels?
These new hiking and cycling tour offers from Feuer und Eis Touristik are perfect for putting your good intentions into action!
Fulfilling a dream — crossing the Alps on foot
For many, the number one dream destination in the new year is to cross the Alps on foot. If you can’t take weeks of vacation, the new Feuer und Eis Touristik offer with the hiking trilogy from Munich to Venice is perfect for you.
Three impressive individual routes, each lasting eight days, each cover 100 kilometers from Munich through the wild Isar Valley and the imposing Karwendel mountains to the Zillertal. The second section takes you over the main Alpine ridge into the mighty Dolomites, past pristine Alpine pastures, the famous Pragser Wildsee lake and rugged panoramas. Part three takes you from the Olympic town of Cortina d’Ampezzo through the vineyards of the Veneto to Venice. Luggage transfer included, of course.
Enjoy hiking in South Tyrol or discover Upper Bavaria’s lake landscape
If you want a relaxed hike without missing out on the Dolce Vita, we recommend the Merano High Mountain Trail. One of the most beautiful circular routes from Schnalstal Valley to Merano. This long-distance hike leads along narrow paths and fine trails through meadows, forests and past rustic mountain farms. Each stage is impressive — not only in terms of the landscape, but also in terms of cultural history. Be sure to stop off at the cozy snack stations for regional delicacies! On this hiking tour the accommodation remains the same, the daily stages are reached by shuttle from Naturns. No constant packing and unpacking, relaxation in nature and pure enjoyment!
Or are you dreaming of crystal-clear lakes, blooming alpine meadows, panoramic summit views and snacks in rustic mountain huts? Then the individual hiking tour Upper Bavaria’s lakes and summit trails is tailor-made for you! It combines three of the most beautiful lakes in Bavaria: Schliersee, Spitzingsee and Tegernsee. Make sure you have your swimming gear in your rucksack! This trip is available with or without luggage transport.
Achieving cycling goals for 2026 — Alpine cross on two wheels
From Lake Tegernsee to Lake Bled — crossing the Alps by bike is also a varied experience. The six-stage route leads from Bavaria via Tyrol and Carinthia to Slovenia. Whether with pure muscle power or motor-assisted on an e‑bike, relaxed valley passages and moderate climbs await, partly on asphalted cycle paths, partly on quiet side roads. The highlight is certainly the spectacular descent from Fuscher Törl at 2,428m via the Grossglockner High Alpine Road into the Mölltal valley and the final stage through Kranjska Gora in Slovenia.
Shift up a gear and enjoy the views
The impressive, moderately difficult e‑bike tour around the Wilder Kaiser is more challenging. Steeper climbs await here in places and a good basic level of fitness is required. The four stages are predominantly on paved paths and there are between 350 and 600 meters of altitude to conquer over an average of 45 kilometers. Of course, a rental bike service is also available for this tour.
You are spoiled for choice with the Seenzauber West and Seenzauber Ost cycle tours. Starting from Munich, you can explore either the lakes on the eastern or western edge of the Alps. From Tegernsee to Chiemsee or rather 500 kilometers from Ammersee via Starnberger and over the Achenpass to Tegernsee — what would you prefer? Either a leisurely cycle or a sporty version of around 250 kilometers. This individual Munich Lakes Tour can be booked with or without luggage transport.
