Day 2
Hopf­gar­ten — Bri­xen in Thale
Distanz: 14 km Höhe (+): 1212m Höhe (-): 1020m
This stage of the KAT Walk Com­pact is a pan­o­r­amic hike from the very first step. The gon­do­la lift ride takes you to the alpi­ne pas­tu­res below the Hohe Sal­ve. This is fol­lo­wed by an easy ascent to the Hohe Sal­ve, one of the best pan­o­r­amic moun­ta­ins in Tyrol. Aus­tria’s hig­hest pil­grimage church is loca­ted right at the sum­mit. The des­cent via the Sal­ven­see and Fil­z­alm­see lakes is via pic­tures­que paths. In Hoch­bri­xen, you can take the gon­do­la lift again for the rest of the des­cent or con­ti­nue on a path down to Bri­xen im Tha­le with its impo­sing dou­ble-towe­red church. 
Day 3

The ascent to the Bri­xen­bachalm along an artis­ti­cal­ly desi­gned Way of the Cross is the first high­light of the day. You reach the Wie­galm, pic­tures­que­ly nest­led in a sadd­le, through open forest and alpi­ne pas­tu­re ter­rain. From here, it is only a short climb up the long ridge of the Gais­berg. The geo­lo­gi­cal struc­tu­re of the upper­most area on the Gais­berg also chan­ges the land­scape and vege­ta­ti­on: lime­s­tone domi­na­tes with karst phe­no­me­na and moun­tain pine growth. The sum­mit also offers a won­derful 360-degree pan­o­r­amic view. The des­cent through a beau­tiful mixed forest can be shor­ten­ed at the end by taking a chairlift.

The day’s desti­na­ti­on is the town cen­ter of the most legen­da­ry sports town in the Alps: Kitzbühel!

Other notes
To ensu­re a stress-free start to the trip, we recom­mend arri­ving at the start­ing point by ear­ly evening in most cases. Some tours start as ear­ly as mid­day, in which case we recom­mend arri­ving the day befo­re and will be hap­py to book an extra night for you at the same time. The indi­vi­du­al return jour­ney takes place on the last day of the tour. The kilo­me­ters are appro­xi­ma­te and may dif­fer from the actu­al kilo­me­ters cover­ed. This tour is not sui­ta­ble for peo­p­le with redu­ced mobility. 
Mini­mum num­ber of participants
If a mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is requi­red for the tour to take place, this is sta­ted under Pri­ces and ser­vices. If the mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is not rea­ched, we reser­ve the right to can­cel the trip up to four weeks befo­re the date of arri­val. We recom­mend that you do not orga­ni­ze your arri­val and depar­tu­re until after this dead­line has passed.
Insu­ran­ces
Tra­vel can­cel­la­ti­on insu­rance inclu­ding tra­vel inter­rup­ti­on insu­rance is recom­men­ded in any case. Infor­ma­ti­on can be found at: https://www.feuer-eis-touristik.de/reiseversicherung
7‑day care­free number
No mat­ter how well plan­ned a trip is, in rare cases unex­pec­ted things hap­pen. At such times, it’s nice to have someone you can rely on on site. For this reason, you will have a local cont­act per­son on our indi­vi­du­al acti­vi­ty tours who will be hap­py to pro­vi­de you with infor­ma­ti­on and, as sta­ted in the tra­vel docu­ments, can be cont­ac­ted in an emergency.
Dogs
We can always offer the tour with a dog. Howe­ver, we will then book you 2x in Kirch­berg ins­tead of 1x Bri­xen and 1x Kirch­berg. The­re is a good S‑Bahn con­nec­tion that links the two towns.
