Family hikes

This route leads hikers around Kühtai, showing the village from a different perspective while almost entirely avoiding the road. The route is suitable for everyone.

The starting point is at the Römerstraße, cross it and follow the Lanser Alm trail. On a forest path, the trail climbs steadily in serpentines to the catered Lanser Alm with its beautiful sun terrace and magnificent view of the Nordkette mountain range opposite.  Alternatively, the Ochsensteig trail leads steeply uphill to the Lanser Alm.  Tip: If you prefer a more leisurely hike, take the Patscherkofel cable car to the mountain station and hike downhill from there to the Lanser Alm in around 30 minutes.

The "AXAMER LIZUM" CIRCULAR HIKING TRAIL takes you on a hike at the foot of the majestic "Kalkkögel" mountain range. The trail is easy to walk and gives you the opportunity to experience Tyrolean nature up close at alpine heights. Several educational display boards line the route and provide information about the local flora and fauna. The route also passes two memorials near the barn of the old Lizum Alm mountain hut: one commemorates mountaineers from the local mountain association who lost their lives here, the other the crash of an American bomber near Marchreisenspitze peak during World War II. There are several benches along the way where you can take a break. The total walking time is about 75 minutes but the trail is made up of two sections that can be walked individually. The "AXAMER LIZUM" CIRCULAR HIKING TRAIL has a total length of about 3.5 km and is particularly suitable for families, senior citizens who enjoy walking and Nordic walkers. Tour description: start at Axamer Lizum car park in Axamer Lizum (1,583 m) > north along the car park to the Schafalm mountain hut > back towards the ski resort > south past the pond and the historic barn of the Lizum Alm (approx. 300 years old) > around the pond > past the Olympia Kapelle chapel > Axamer Lizum car park (1,583 m).

From the village centre, follow the Zwölfergasse and Mühlbachweg roads towards the retirement home. From there, continue along the Melach river heading downstream until you come to the wooden bridge. Follow the same route back or cross the Sellrain Valley road and follow the roads Melachweg - Rauthweg - Bahnhofstraße back to the village centre. Very easy hike

Start at the Waldschwimmbad (forest swimming pool) car park and follow the path south as it leads downhill towards a crossroads. Turn right towards Freundsheim and follow the path past three small lakes (privately owned) and a small chapel until you come to the hamlet of Gschwent. Immediately afterwards, you will see a large paddock. From there, follow the dirt road that leads off to the left until you reach the edge of the forest. The next section of forest trail offers wonderful views of the beautiful nature reserve on the Mieming Plateau with its characteristic larch meadows. The contrast between the vast open spaces and the striking Mieming Range is a very impressive sight. The route continues past Kohlplatz towards the Moosalm guesthouse. Anyone interested in nature can take a stroll along the 150-metre-long jetty to observe the colourful action on and in the waters of the Mooswiesen biotope. Finally, the route continues back to the starting point.

From Mutterer Straße road in Natters, the Herrenweg turns off to the west and, after a few minutes' walk, becomes the Herrensteig trail. This trail leads down through the forest before merging into Seestraße road. Along the Herrensteig, display boards provide information about the local flora and fauna. From Natterer See lake, a footpath leads past the Einethöfe to the village of Götzens.

This route starts at the end of the car park in Praxmar (fees apply) and leads south towards Lüsens. The first section of the route passes display boards with information about flora and fauna in the Sellrain Valley. Particular focus is placed on endangered amphibians. The second section, which leads further south from Lüsens to "Fernerboden" on the valley floor, gives a fascinating insight into the development of the glaciers up to today. A natural viewing platform provides magnificent views of the surrounding mountains.

From the "Naturpark Karwendel" car park, it is about a 15-minute walk to the "7 Weg" (7 trail) intersection. When you reach the intersection, turn right towards the Garzanhof. After walking for another ten minutes, you'll reach the area where the Rum nature trail was set up in 1995. Numerous signs describe the botanical features in the region.

Start in Natters to the north of the village church and follow Nockweg road through alpine meadows to Nattererboden restaurant.

Walk past the church in Gries towards Obermarendebach. After about 800 metres, you will come to an idyllic trail towards Untermarendebach. From there, you can continue to the Stuppenhöfe farm buildings and then either take route no. 1 back to Gries or follow the main road back to the village.
