Description

Multi-day long-distance hiking trail - in 5 daily stages across the Kitzbühel Alps.

Beyond Hiking in the Kitzbühel Alps for body, mind and soul - this is what the KAT Walk Compact offers. Over 5 daily stages, totaling 76 km and almost 5,000 meters in vertical metres, you will discover the sunny side of the beautiful Tyrolean mountains.
