Itinerary / Stages

Indi­vi­du­al arri­val in Hopf­gar­ten im Brixental
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Arri­ve rela­xed in Hopf­gar­ten im Bri­xen­tal and enjoy the day.
Hopf­gar­ten im Bri­xen­tal — Bri­xen im 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. 
Bri­xen im Tha­le — Kirch­berg in Tirol
Distanz: 14 km Höhe (+): 1000m Höhe (-): 950m
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.
Kirch­berg in Tirol — Kitzbühel
Distanz: 15 km Höhe (+): 1000m Höhe (-): 1050m
The third stage of the KAT Walk fol­lows in the foot­s­teps of the legen­da­ry Hah­nen­kamm race. You get a tas­te of the World Cup atmo­sphe­re: along the Streif race cour­se, infor­ma­ti­on boards explain famous sec­tions of the cour­se such as the Haus­berg­kan­te or the Mau­se­fal­le (des­cent also pos­si­ble by cable car). The day’s desti­na­ti­on is the town cen­ter of the most legen­da­ry sports town in the Alps: Kitzbühel! 
Kitz­bü­hel — St. Johann in Tirol
Distanz: 21 km Höhe (+): 1250m Höhe (-): 1350m
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. Moun­tain carts are also available at the midd­le sta­ti­on of the Harsch­bichl­bahn, which can be used to speed down into the val­ley. If you have time, it’s also worth visi­ting the Horn­park clim­bing forest near the midd­le station.
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.
Indi­vi­du­al departure
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m

To ensu­re a stress-free start to the trip, we recom­mend arri­ving at the start­ing point by ear­ly evening in most cases.

Tour rating

Top hiking week
High­ly recom­men­ded hike around the Wil­der Kai­ser. Despi­te the bad wea­ther, we had a very good week with gre­at accom­mo­da­ti­on. The hikes were well sign­pos­ted and plan­ned. Each tour had its own charm. 4 out of 5 tours could be shor­ten­ed with gondolas/lifts if neces­sa­ry. For the most part, the­re were love­ly, rustic places to stop for refresh­ments along the rou­tes. We can recom­mend this hiking tour with a clear conscience.
