The Best Trailrunning Routes in Tirol

In principle, trailrunning is suitable for anyone who has a certain level of fitness and no longer wants to run only on asphalt or flat gravel roads. Above all, however, it is for those who want to run on forest and meadow paths, on hiking and mountain trails, and who already have good surefootedness and coordination or want to develop these skills. Above all, trailrunning is suitable for people who love the mountains and want to combine a sporting challenge with superlative scenery. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, in Tirol there are so many different trail routes that you can slowly get to know the new terrain or push yourself to the limit on long, demanding trails. 

In Tirol there are countless trailrunning routes ranging from easy to very difficult, so there is something for every fitness level. In addition, Tirol's topography offers the opportunity to run up through different climate zones, enjoy incredible mountain views, cool tired feet in mountain lakes, and recharge your batteries in mountain huts while benefitting from the altitude training effect.

The large and established running community in Tirol offers many trailrunning camps and courses as well as a range of professionally organised competitions. Tirol is a young, motivated and very committed trailrunning region that invites everyone to try out this great and versatile sport or to train efficiently. 

The great thing about running is that you don't need much. Good trailrunning shoes, functional clothing and, for long distances, a lightweight trailrunning backpack with a hydration system, in which you can also store energy bars, a mobile phone, keys and a lightweight wind and rain jacket, are the most important pieces of equipment.

For competitions, mandatory equipment is usually prescribed, but this is clearly communicated by the operator before each official event.
