Brixental Spring
When nature takes a deep breath, the most beautiful time of year begins in the valley.
When the snow melts and the alpine pastures turn green again, the Brixental Valley shows its gentlest and most beautiful side. In Kirchberg, Brixen im Thale, and Westendorf, the first rays of sunshine warm the mountain meadows, marmots whistle from their burrows, and the high trails smell of spring. Anyone who experiences this time of year can feel it: this is where the true Tyrolean way of life begins—clear, fresh, and unadulterated.
Hiking with a view
From the early hours of the morning until the last rays of sunshine, the Brixental mountains are a true hiker's paradise. Over 500 kilometers of marked hiking trails lead through valleys, across alpine pastures, and up to panoramic peaks at up to 2,450 meters above sea level. Whether it's a leisurely valley walk, a family-friendly alpine hike, or a challenging summit tour, hiking in the Brixental Valley combines nature, tranquility, and exercise in a unique way. And once you reach the top? There's only one feeling: pure summit bliss with a view of the Kitzbühel Alps.
Kick-off for bike fans
As soon as the trails are free of snow, the biking season begins in Brixental Valley. An almost endless network of mountain bike routes, single trails, and bike paths leads through the gentle mountain landscape and countless alpine pastures. Whether you prefer a leisurely ride through the valley or a sporty climb to the summit, there is something for everyone here. Those who prefer to ride in company can take part in guided bike tours and discover the most beautiful places around Kirchberg, Brixen im Thale, and Westendorf. And in between? Just stop, take a deep breath, and enjoy the feeling of boundless freedom.
