A FANTASTIC PLACE FOR A TREKKING HOLIDAY

Trekking in Leutaschtal Valley

Regardless of your fitness or skill level, you’ll always find the ideal trekking route for a hiking vacation in Leutaschtal Valley in Tyrol. Remember, it’s important to be aware of the difficulty gradient of any tour you plan to ensure you don’t get into intractable situations. The classification system for Tyrol’s hiking and climbing routes provides clear information that enables each guest to find the perfect tour for his/her abilities. There’s a good reason Austria is one of the most popular countries for hikers, and one of the most frequently-chosen destinations for trekking holidays. After all, more than half of the country is situated in wondrous alpine surroundings.

 

There are nine states in Austria, and so many trekking options and activity breaks available in all of them – so the choice is always going to be tough. You may wish to go hiking in the Austrian mountains, and stop for a drink and a meal at one of the many alpine huts. There are also picturesque treks along fairy-tale valleys, on idyllic mountain fields in bloom and alongside crystal-clear lakes.

Hiking in Tyrol

Without doubt, Tyrol can offer some of the best-known and most popular scenery in the whole of Austria – and it’s a magnet for all skiers, mountain climbers and hikers. Active guests can look forward to discovering over 24,000 kilometres of trekking routes in Tyrol. Many hikers are familiar with the popular and stunning landscapes of Stubaital Valley, the Karwendel Massif, Ötztal, Zillertal and the region flanking the River Inn. Tyrol is also home to Austria’s highest mountain, the Großglockner, and is a very mountainous state in general.

 

Of course, Tyrol in the summertime is every bit as visit-worthy and aesthetically magnificent as it is during the winter skiing season. The longest hiking route in Tyrol is the 33-stage Adlerweg, or ‘eagle’s way’ with a total of 413 kilometres of pathways across the state. Guests travelling around Tyrol as a family can look forward to fascinating and action-rich theme-based trekking routes that combine knowledge and hiking. We particularly recommend this scenic route: ‘Tauernblick Panoramaweg am Wilden Kaiser’.
