Feu­er und Eis own tour

KAT Walk Alpine

from 984,- per person

The KAT Walk Alpin offers long-distance hiking fans a moun­tain expe­ri­ence in a class of its own. Dis­co­ver the sun­ny side of the Kitz­bü­hel Alps on 6 dai­ly stages, 106 km and over 6,350 meters in alti­tu­de! The first stages of the tour lead from Hopf­gar­ten to the most beau­tiful places in the Bri­xen­tal side val­leys in pure, unspoilt natu­re. On the later stages, you will expe­ri­ence the famous Hah­nen­kamm with the Ski World Cup town of Kitz­bü­hel and reach your desti­na­ti­on via the lively St. Johann in Tirol: the beau­tiful St. Ulrich in the Pil­ler­see­tal val­ley. Hiking here means swit­ching off, lea­ving ever­y­day life behind, explo­ring tra­di­tio­nal vil­la­ges and enjoy­ing fan­ta­stic moun­tain sce­n­ery with fresh Alpi­ne air. Of cour­se, tasty Tyro­lean deli­ca­ci­es in rustic moun­tain huts and warm hosts along the way are a must, as it is pre­cis­e­ly this hos­pi­ta­li­ty that makes this litt­le cor­ner of the world so special. 

Itinerary / Stages

Day 1
Indi­vi­du­al arri­val in Hopf­gar­ten im Brixental
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Arri­ve rela­xed in Hopf­gar­ten im Bri­xen­tal and enjoy the day.
Day 2
Hopf­gar­ten im Bri­xen­tal — Kelchsau
Distanz: 20 km Höhe (+): 800m Höhe (-): 650m
The varied rou­te first leads slight­ly uphill through forests and mea­dows, past the magni­fi­cent farms of the Pen­ning­berg. After a short, flat stretch towards Inner­pen­ning­berg, the second ascent beg­ins to the rustic Haag Alm (not mana­ged, trough with chil­led drinks available for self-ser­vice). With no signi­fi­cant dif­fe­rence in alti­tu­de, you reach the Höhen­bran­dalm, whe­re the des­cent beg­ins via a forest path to the stage desti­na­ti­on of Kelch­sau. Kelch­sau is also home to some of the most beau­tiful woo­den hou­ses and farms. 
Day 3
Kelch­sau — Windau
Distanz: 18 km Höhe (+): 1140m Höhe (-): 1100m
Alpi­ne pas­tu­re hike with gre­at views. The rou­te leads along easy to modera­te­ly dif­fi­cult paths and forest trails, the ascents are mode­ra­te and only a litt­le stee­per in short sec­tions. Howe­ver, with around 1,200 meters of alti­tu­de dif­fe­rence, you do need to be in good phy­si­cal con­di­ti­on. Along the rou­te, you will pass count­less moun­tain pas­tu­res. The alpi­ne wri­ter Sepp Kahn lived on the Unte­re Lär­chen­bergalm. He recor­ded the life of a dairy­man in his dia­ries. The hig­hest point of the tour: the Lodron is one of the best pan­o­r­amic moun­ta­ins in the Kitz­bü­hel Alps with a 360° view from the gla­cier-cover­ed Hohe Tau­ern to the Wil­der Kaiser. 
Day 4
Wind­au — Aschau
Distanz: 19 km Höhe (+): 1050m Höhe (-): 900m
Varied hike in abso­lu­te tran­quil­li­ty. Past seve­ral his­to­ric alpi­ne buil­dings and a high moor near the Hin­ten­kar­schar­te, as well as a water­fall clo­se to the stage finish. Distinct are­as of alpi­ne roses abo­ve the Schei­ben­schlag Hoch­alm. Fan­ta­stic views of the sur­roun­ding moun­ta­ins, the ice giants of the Hohe Tau­ern and the striking sum­mit of the Gro­ßer Ret­ten­stein, which is clo­se enough to touch. The paths are most­ly not too dif­fi­cult, only clas­si­fied as modera­te­ly dif­fi­cult in the area on both sides of the Hin­ten­kar­schar­te. Due to the length of around nine­teen kilo­me­ters, you should be in good phy­si­cal con­di­ti­on. If you are stay­ing over­night in Kirch­berg, take the bus from Aschau to Kirchberg.
Day 5
Aschau — Kitzbühel
Distanz: 16 km Höhe (+): 1050m Höhe (-): 1300m

The day’s desti­na­ti­on is the town cen­ter of the most legen­da­ry sports town in the Kitz­bü­hel Alps! 
Day 6
Kitz­bü­hel — St. Johann in Tirol
Distanz: 21 km Höhe (+): 1250m Höhe (-): 1300m
Stami­na-deman­ding stage over the famous Kitz­bü­he­ler Horn to St. Johann in Tirol, which you can shor­ten with the help of seve­ral cable cars. Views in all direc­tions, a well-ten­ded alpi­ne flower gar­den and seve­ral places to stop for refresh­ments make this stage a spe­cial expe­ri­ence! Spec­ta­cu­lar path on the des­cent from the Horn to the Harschbichl. 
Day 7
St. Johann in Tirol — St. Ulrich am Pillersee
Distanz: 19 km Höhe (+): 1000m Höhe (-): 800m
Varied hike to a secluded pla­teau with various karst for­ma­ti­ons and dry alpi­ne mea­dows. Moun­tain pine are­as, diver­se mixed forests and views in all direc­tions round off this moun­tain expe­ri­ence. The rou­te runs along paths, mea­dow paths and tracks and is clas­si­fied as modera­te­ly dif­fi­cult. In the last third of the tour, the­re is also the oppor­tu­ni­ty to stop off at the rustic Winterstelleralm.
