Hiking in Zell am See - Kaprun

Hiking trails and hiking tours
Trails as far as your feet can carry you: a mountain tour to Kitzsteinhorn, Schmittenhöhe or Maiskogel is a special experience for hiking enthusiasts. Against the backdrop of gorgeous scenery, you can make your way up to the peak either leisurely or at a fast speed. There are a lot of splendid routes. Upon request accomplished guides can accompany you on your way up. They will make sure that you won't miss anything, not even the smallest detail of the lush flora and fauna.

In Zell am See-Kaprun you will only reach your limits at 2,600 metres of altitude. If you are equipped with carabiners and a rope, though, you can make your way up higher - along marked mountain climbing zones, so that you can get to the peak. If you are not that fit, you can conquer the mountains quite comfortably in one of the numerous cable cars. In any case, you should wisely choose the right route and make sure you wear sturdy shoes when setting out on your trip.

Once you have reached your destination, you will be rewarded with a gorgeous view across the entire region. Kitzsteinhorn is 3,203 metre high and Schmittenhöhe rises up to 2,000 metres. That's the best place for taking a break. Visit one of our typical huts, Alpine cabins, or inns! After you have refreshed yourself there, it will be easier to march on!
