Alpine Hiking Trails - Wilder Kaiser / Kitzbüheler Horn

Kitzbühel is surrounded by an extensive network of over 500 km of marked hiking trails, catering to all abilities. From easy family-friendly paths around Schwarzsee or on the Hahnenkamm to more challenging multi-day treks into the Wilder Kaiser mountains, there's something for every level. Popular routes include the panoramic trail along the Kitzbüheler Horn (easy-moderate, 2-3 hours), the Ehrenbachhöhe to Pengelstein traverse (moderate, 4-5 hours), and various alpine routes into the dramatic Wilder Kaiser range (challenging, full day+). Trails are well-maintained, clearly signposted, and many are accessible via the summer operation of the ski lifts. Guided hikes are regularly offered by the tourism office.
