A short hike around the snow-white Hahnenkamm - including unforgettable panoramic views
The start is at the valley station of the Hahnenkammbahn, where you take the gondola up to the Hahnenkamm (lift tickets are available directly at the ticket office). Once at the top there is a fantastic view of the striking Kitzbüheler Horn and Kitzbühel's southern mountains. From the Hahnenkamm top station, go straight ahead towards the magic carpet of the "Märchenwald". Cross the ski slope near the bottom station of the magic carpet and hike on a groomed hiking path to the left of the ski slope towards Hahnenkammstüberl. This way there is a great view of the Steinbergkogel and the Ehrenbachhöhe. Shortly before the Hahnenkammstüberl you hike along the edge of the slope past the Berghaus Tyrol to the St. Bernhard chapel. A perfect place to stop and enjoy the view of the Brixental, the rugged massif of the "Wilder Kaiser", the Leukental and the Chiemgau Alps. To the left of the chapel, an idyllic hiking trail leads you towards the ski slope "Walde" back to the starting point of this winter hike.Near the bottom station of the "Märchenwald" magic carpet, cross the ski slope again towards the top station of the Hahnenkamm cable car. Before returning to the valley on the gondola lift, we recommend a short detour to the panoramic terrace behind the mountain station, where you will be rewarded with an impressive panoramic view.
Tip: Take an impressive look at the infamous mousetrap and visit the start house, which is just a few meters to the left above the exit from the fairytale magic carpet.
