Description

This trail takes advantage of the excellent infrastructure of KitzSki, saving significant elevation gain and providing a wonderful experience for less-trained trail runners and beginners. Start by taking the Hornbahn lift to Alpenhaus. From there, follow the contour lines on beautiful yet technically easy trails towards Bichalm.

Initially, descend a few meters on asphalt before turning onto the trail at a bend. Follow the signs to "Lämmerbichl" and "Bichalm," with a gentle downhill leading to Lämmerbühel. Shortly after, a climb begins on the forest road towards "Hochetzkogel" and "Bichalm." Upon reaching the ridge, you can either run directly down to the Alm (hut) or take a short climb up to Hochetzkogel peak for a rewarding view of Kitzbühel.

At Bichalm (restaurant), you can refresh yourself and then take the chairlift back down to the valley. From there, return by bus.
