Hiking through the snowy landscape from village to village, exploring the mountains on foot, a visit to one of the cosy wooden huts – whatever kind of winter hiking you prefer, Tirol and its beautiful regions provide the ideal backdrop for a holiday to remember.
In today’s fast-moving world, there is something particularly gratifying about doing things slowly. Sure, there may be quicker ways to get from A to B, but walking has its own unique appeal which continues to resonate even in the colder months of the year. And we shouldn’t forget that there is no such thing as a standard winter walk – families with young children can stroll along the valley floor, while ambitious hikers can head higher into the mountains. Some regions of Tirol such as Seefeld have specialised in winter walking and offer a large network of trails kept in excellent condition throughout winter. Visitors to Seefeld can embark on a multi-day walk from village to village – with the added bonus of a luggage service to transport all your gear from one hotel to the next, leaving you to enjoy the hike with just a small rucksack. Tirol’s official Mountaineering Villages, such as Kartitsch in East Tirol, are also ideal bases for those keen to explore the winter landscape on foot. There you will find everything you need from boots and poles to experienced local guides. Last but not least, we recommend trying a night-time walk such as the Hike held during the European Winter Walking Days in the Pillerseetal Valley.
