Description

Directly from the valley station of the versatile Leutascher Katzenkopf, a wonderful hiking route leads up the mountain.

As you can also toboggan on the same route in winter and the ascent crosses the ski slope twice on the way, it is essential to watch out for oncoming traffic on the way! If necessary, you can also get a rental toboggan at the valley station for a small fee. Alternatively, hiking trails lead from the cosy Katzenkopfhütte (1,360m) at the summit on to Wildmoos, Seefeld and Mösern.

From the sun terrace of the traditional wooden hut, an impressive mountain panorama stretches over the extensive Leutasch valley, which you can simply take in here while enjoying homemade delicacies, freshly tapped refreshments and steaming hot drinks. Those who prefer to warm up indoors will find a cosy Tyrolean parlour with a tiled stove and crackling fireplace. And if you are looking for some soothing relaxation on the way back, you will find a wide range of wellness offers in the ErlebnisWelt Alpenbad Leutasch, from alpine herbal infusions to calf massages.
