Winter Walking Days

Kartitsch

January 9th - 12th, 2025

From 11 to 14 January 2024 the winter hiking days will take place in Kartitisch, the first winter hiking village in Austria. All winter hikes that we undertake will of course be accompanied by an official hiking guide. Thus, in addition to the great views and the many fascinating moments, you will also learn interesting stories about the country and its people. By the way, there is a suitable tour for every fitness level, so different levels of difficulty of the hikes guarantee moments of happiness without anyone having to struggle for breath.


The tour highlights are certainly those on the Dorfberg, the house and view mountain of the Kartitscher. Our own free shuttles will take you to the starting points, pick you up again at the finishing points and bring you back to your accommodation after an eventful tour. Through the fascinating winter landscape, but also through the traditional and regional social program, such as the winter picnic or the joint tobogganing, the winter hiking days will remain in your memory for a long time!
