Situated at 4,444 feet (1,356 meters) above sea level, the altitude of this village ensures snow, as well as being one of the places with the most hours of sunshine in Austria. Kartitsch in East Tyrol is located in one of the most beautiful high valleys of the Alps and is the first official winter hiking village in Austria. This idyllic mountaineering village fulfills all your desires for near-natural winter experiences. While you're here, one thing is guaranteed: awesome seasonal hiking. On a total of nine certified winter hiking trails you can explore the picturesque mountain landscape around Kartitsch. All signposted routes are maintained and cleared throughout the winter to enable you to hike effortlessly through the snow-covered winter landscape.
You'll stomp over snow-covered meadows and winter forests and you'll come into harmony with the quiet and sleeping nature. The authentic mountain village of Kartitsch in the East Tyrolean Gailtal is the ideal base for your personal winter hikes.
During the winter hikes the focus is entirely on experiencing nature - along the hiking trails you will find only simple, winterproof resting places, which are also available in summer for hikers. For a cozy stop, there are inns and huts along the hiking routes or in the small villages around Kartitsch.
The guided tours on the winter hiking trails are particularly beautiful: Twice a week, you can dive even deeper into the winter nature, because the guides know every secret of their mountains and forests. On Wednesdays, torchlight and lantern hikes also provide a rustic romantic experience — including a steaming cup of hot punch.
