Overview

Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on Exodus 8 Day Winter Walking in the Austrian Tyrol. We have hand-picked the picturesque village of Achenkirch, located right by northern banks of the biggest lake in Tyrol, for this week of winter walking. We stay in the lovely Hotel Fischerwirt, where the Family Kirchberger will offer a warm welcome and some deliciously hearty Tyrolean food.

Itinerary

The trip starts at our hotel in Achenkirch.

We catch the bus South around the lake to Pertisau. The walk takes place in the Karwendal mountains along the Gerntal valley between the mountains of Seeburgspitze and Feilkopf. Stopping for coffee at the Gernalm before walking up to Feilalm for lunch overlooking the Achensee lake and heading back to Pertisau.

The walk starts after a bus journey north and east around the Unnutz mountains to the pretty village of Steinberg. Great views of the Guffert mountain along the way back through forest tracks to Achenkirch, stopping for lunch at a family run authentic Italian restaurant.

Starting from Pertisau we catch the Karwendal cable car up to 1500m and take the circular scenic wildlife trail overlooking the lake and Barenkopf. Lunch is taken at the Alpengasthaus Karwendal before descending down the mountain sharing the routes with tobogganers to the Rodulhutte for hot drinks and Strudel on the way back to Pertisau.

A free day to relax or enjoy optional activities.

Today we walk up the Fulzthurnal valley stopping off at the lovely 200 year old Faltzhurn hutte for a hot drink before heading up for the Gramaialm between the Sonnjoch and Dristenkopf mountains to the head of the valley. Lunch is taken at the Germaialm before heading back to Pertisau, perhaps for cake.

The walk starts around the eastern side of the Achensee lake taking in the views before stopping for coffee at Maurach, then heading up the Rofan to the Buchauer Alm for lunch. The descent down a toboggan track takes in the views of the lakes before a circular walk to finish around the pretty village of Eben.

Our trip finishes after breakfast in Achenkirch.
