Autumn in the Kitzbühel Alps is colourful, beautiful and cooler than in summer – the perfect time for hiking. The leaves on the trees come alive in the most beautiful colours, the air is clearer and far-reaching views are guaranteed. The surrounding mountain peaks all seem close enough to touch. Both nature lovers and amateur photographers will be spellbound by the endless panoramas. Plus there’s another advantage – it’s much quieter on the mountains in autumn than summer.
With excellent infrastructure for hiking, the Brizental valley in the heart of the Kitzbühel Alps is well worth a visit. The combination of rustic alpine pastures, stunning panoramas, trickling streams, and wild nature makes the region the perfect getaway to unwind and recharge your batteries. A hiking holiday in the Brixental valley helps you to slow down and forget your daily routine for a while.
The region proves that autumn in particular is a wonderful time for a hike. From 3 to 11 October, the Brixental Autumn Hiking Week takes place with a varied programme including the ‘Kitzalphike’, a sunrise to sunset hike. Between hikes, you can enjoy a musical morning pint at various mountain huts.
To help you explore the nature outside of the events, we’ve put together the most beautiful hikes in the Brixental valley for you. Whether you want to enjoy alpine pasture, sail on the waters of Jochstubnsee lake at an altitude of 1,600 metres (5,250 feet), marvel at panoramic views of the Kaisergebirge mountains, or walk through the city in Brixen im Thale – the Brixental valley in the Kitzbühel Alps has so much to offer that a week's hiking holiday is almost not enough. Another reason to return!
