For those who want to aim higher
Difficult Hikes in Tyrol | Seefeld Region
Challenging hikes in Tyrol are ideal for experienced mountaineers who want to reach great heights. On Tyrol's high plateau, you can expect demanding routes with longer hiking times, many elevation meters, and complex terrain – perfect for those with endurance, skills, and experience. In Scharnitz, the Karwendel Mountains open the gates to the largest nature park in Austria. There runs one of the most famous mountain tours in the region, the Karwendel High Trail – challenging, multi-day, and full of alpine highlights. In Leutasch, true challenges await you with the Hohe Munde, the Wetterstein Mountains, and the Gaistal.
