KAT Walk Winter stage 1: Magic of silence

Countdown
Start KAT Walk Winter 2022
After countless wonderful summer hikes right through the Kitzbüheler Alpen mountain world it's finally happened: the KAT Walk has a new baby! That's always a special occasion – and good news for winter hikers, above all. The brand new KAT Walk Winter is a real eye-catcher, as it stretches over a good 63 km and 1.100 metres of elevation gain over four stages right through the Kitzbüheler Alpen!
In plain terms: well-signposted hiking routes close to the valley take you through the most wonderful winter landscapes in the region. That means – in full KAT Walk style – you can stop for a moment, close your eyes and enjoy the fresh winter breeze, as you soak the sun or the snowflakes on your face. It's wonderful. You just have to come and enjoy it for yourself.

The KAT Walk Winter runs over winter hiking trails close to the valley, so no snowshoes are required. Successful tour planning naturally also includes the right equipment for your wintry long-distance hiking adventure. The basic gear consists of warm, non-slip shoes, sufficiently warm functional clothing, a well-packed backpack with snacks and water, headlamps, first aid kit, etc. After completing your booking, we will send you an information package containing a useful checklist for your equipment.
Your starting point, Hopfgarten im Brixental, can be reached easily and sustainably by public transport (train station: Hopfgarten im Brixental Berglift). Your first accommodation, the Hohe Salve Sportresort, is less than a five-minute walk from the train station.
Arriving by car is a possibility as well. You can park free of charge at the "Wasserfeld" car park in Hopfgarten for the duration of your trip.
After completing your booking, we will send you a practical information package containing useful tips for your trip, luggage tags and informative maps. In addition, the entire route of the KAT Walk Winter is continuously signposted with KAT Walk Winter stickers.
Furthermore, GPX data can be downloaded from the interactive map of the Kitzbühel Alps. By releasing your location, you can also follow the progress on your respective stage "live" via an orange dot that marks your current location. As you can see, perfect orientation is all cared for!
All current information for KAT Walk routes is always available online at www.kat-walk.uk/news. There you will also find information about the weather, opening times, Covid-19 measures and much more.
Thanks to your Kitzbüheler Alpen guest card (issued by the local hotels) you can travel comfortably and free of charge by train from St. Ulrich am Pillersee back to the starting point in Hopfgarten.
On the day of departure after breakfast, the connection by bus at 09:58 from "St. Ulrich am Pillersee Adolari" to "Fieberbrunn Pfaffenschwendt" is particularly suitable. There, change to the train from "Pfaffenschwendt Bahnhof" (departure: 10:38) and travel to "Hopfgarten i. Br. Berglift Bahnhof", where you will arrive at 11:28. The entire journey takes 1 hour 30 minutes, is environmentally friendly and of course free of charge with your guest card!
For international train connections, travel past Hopfgarten to "Wörgl Hauptbahnhof", where you will arrive at 11:40 am. (As of October 2021)
You can find all timetables at www.vvt.at.
Your dog is absolutely welcome on the region's winter hiking trails! Since some landlords do not allow pets at their hotels, a regular booking of the complete hassle-free package with your four-legged travel buddy on the KAT Walk Winter is not possible. However, we are more than happy to find a great solution for you and your loyal companion! Contact us by email at info@kat-walk.at or by phone at 0043 57 507 85 00 and we will plan a perfect getaway on the KAT Walk Winter with you!
