Top hikes with a lift ride
Easy | 2.9 km | 85 m ↑↓ | 1 hour
The Panorama Loop is located on the Hahnenkamm and starts next to the Hahnenkammbahn mountain station. It is an easy loop suitable for almost everyone, although it offers enough elevation gain to provide a gentle workout. The circuit is perfect for families, couples and groups. It passes the start house of the Hahnenkamm Races and all the play areas along the Summer Streif Adventure Trail. Along the way, there are plenty of beautiful views and excellent places to stop for refreshments, with three restaurants.
Easy | 4.8 km | 160 m ↑↓ | 1 hour 40 minutes
The Karst Trail is an easy circular walk on the Kitzbüheler Horn, leading through beautiful countryside with views across the entire Kitzbühel region. The route starts at the Alpenhaus, the top station of the Hornbahn II, and leads uphill and downhill along the edge of the basin to the geological highlight, the karst, which has formed over thousands of years.
Easy | 2.2 km | 320 m ↓ | 1 hour
The route through the Alpine Flower Garden starts at the summit of the Kitzbüheler Horn, next to the summit station of the Gipfelbahn. From there, you have a magnificent 360-degree view. The route leads downhill through the Alpine Flower Garden, past playgrounds and the children’s climbing trail, to the Alpenhaus and the Hornbahn II gondola top station. The route is a very easy walk for families, those who enjoy the views and flower lovers, with places to stop for refreshments at the Gipfelhaus and Alpenhaus.
Moderate | 8.5 km | 361 m ↑ | 717 m ↓ | 4 hours
This moderately difficult route starts at the summit of the Kitzbüheler Horn next to the valley station of the Gipfelbahn and leads via the Bichlalm to the Hochetzkogel and the Bichlalm chairlift. Along the way, you can expect stunning views and several highlights, such as the panoramic view from the summit of the Horn, the alpine flower garden, the Hornköpflsee lake, the summit of the Hochetzkogel and the Bichlalm Kneipp facility. Refreshments are available at the Gipfelhaus, the Hornköpflhütte and the Bichlalm. With just a short detour, you can also visit the Lämmerbichlalm.
Difficult | 16.8 km | 563 m ↑ | 1,262 m ↓ | 6.5 hours
A challenging hike for nature lovers offering a genuine summit experience. From the top station of the Bichlalm chairlift, the route follows the ridge deeper into the Südberge mountains. Then begins the challenging ascent to the Gebra summit. From the Gebra summit, you are treated to one of the best views in the entire hiking area. From the summit, you descend through breathtaking scenery to the Hochwildalm, where you can enjoy Tyrolean specialities. From the Hochwildalm, the route leads down into the Graben valley and along to Oberaurach, back to the valley station of the Bichlalm chairlift. This is a special hike, situated further away from the lift infrastructure, which showcases the full beauty of the Kitzbühel region.
Moderate | 7.1 km | 907 m ↑ | 3 hours
See the legendary Streif in summer and get a feel for just how mad the Hahnenkamm Downhill really is. This hike starts at the top station of the Hahnenkammbahn, leads to the start hut and then downhill alongside the race course, past all the key points (start slope, Mausefalle, Steilhang, Seidlalm jump, etc.). A short detour takes you around the beautiful Seidlalm lakes. This hike is a must for ski fans and also very enjoyable for those who aren’t interested in skiing. Halfway down the route is the Seidlalm, where you can stop for a bite to eat, and there are also restaurants at the start and end of the route.
How do I get and use the ‘KitzCard’?
Every guest staying overnight in the Kitzbühel Tourism region receives a guest card:
The digital KitzCard is sent by email by the hotel or accommodation provider*, requires no app and can be conveniently stored in popular wallet apps.
To use the included return trip to the top and bottom of the mountain, simply hold the KitzCard’s QR code up to the reader at the turnstile.
The card is valid from the day of arrival until the day of departure.
* At some accommodation providers, guests receive a physical guest card with a QR code.
Things to do during your holiday in Kitzbühel
Whilst the town in the valley boasts well-maintained cycle paths, the mountains offer challenging mountain bike trails. In addition, the single tracks offer a wide range of challenges for everyone from beginners to professionals. 1,000 km of well-signposted hiking trails offer nature lovers unique tours in and around Kitzbühel. The density of golf courses in Kitzbühel is unique in Austria – with four courses right on the doorstep and a further 12 in the immediate vicinity, a golfing holiday here is a truly memorable experience.
