Calling all trekking adventurers: If you want to experience the most stunning sights up close, this challenging yet rewarding tour is made for you. From picturesque Garmisch to Innsbruck, you’ll trek along panoramic, high-alpine trails through the Wetterstein Mountains, cross the Karwendel National Park, and reach Innsbruck’s iconic landmark—the Nordkette. On the final stage, a cable car will take you down into the heart of the city. Surefootedness, a head for heights, and good fitness are essential.
It’s no wonder this alpine crossing from Garmisch to Merano is one of our most popular tours: from the roaring waters of Partnach Gorge to the Mediterranean charm of Merano, you’ll discover new highlights every day. You’ll trek across blooming alpine meadows to Elmauer Alm, pass the stunning Leutasch Ghost Gorge, and arrive at the famous Lake Reschen, with its iconic submerged church tower in Graun. From there, the route continues along scenic irrigation channels and panoramic trails, leading you all the way to Merano’s Tappeiner Promenade.
With luggage transfer included, you can enjoy each stage completely worry-free. The tour is also offered as a Walking holiday with Charm option, featuring handpicked accommodations. It’s perfect for dog owners too—an ideal hike to explore with your four-legged companions.
It doesn’t get more varied than this: one day, rugged peaks in the Steinernes Meer, the next, lush green alpine meadows in the Pillersee Valley. This high-altitude hike between the Salzburg mountains and the Kitzbühel Alps takes you from the striking Schwalbenwand ridge across high moors to the sunny Steinalm—always accompanied by breathtaking panoramic views. Remote mountain passes like the Hochkaser and highlights such as the hermitage near Saalfelden or the treetop trail near Hinterglemm provide unforgettable photo moments. And the grand finale? A panoramic view from the Schmittenhöhe across more than 30 three-thousand-meter peaks.
One trail, many guises: The Lechweg leads you from Formarinsee near Lech am Arlberg all the way to Füssen in Bavaria. As you follow the wild, emerald-green Lech River, you’ll pass through dramatic alpine landscapes, cross the spectacular suspension bridge in Holzgau, and walk alongside thundering waterfalls. In Holzgau, the river reveals its untamed character, while from Forchach onward, gentle alpine pastures and wide valley views create a calming contrast along this well-marked hiking trail.
For an especially stylish experience, choose the Charm option with handpicked accommodations and added comforts. Whether rustic or refined, this tour leaves a lasting impression—step by step, from Tyrol to Bavaria. Once you reach your final stop in Füssen, the wild, roaring Lechfall offers a dramatic finale to your adventure.

Tyrol’s climate offers ideal conditions for hiking. In early and late summer, stable weather, clear visibility, and mild temperatures set the stage for unforgettable outdoor adventures. While the valleys warm up pleasantly, the higher elevations remain refreshingly cool. Occasional summer thunderstorms can occur, so careful planning and proper gear are essential for a safe and enjoyable experience in the Alps.
Tyrol has a rich cultural heritage shaped by age-old traditions and rural life, deeply woven into everyday living. Throughout the summer months, many villages host local festivals featuring brass band music and a welcoming, celebratory atmosphere. A true highlight is the famous Almabtrieb in autumn, when cows—decorated with colorful flowers, ribbons, and bells—are led back down into the valley. This festive procession is a heartfelt expression of gratitude for a safe and successful summer on the alpine pastures and the promise of a good harvest.
Tyrolean cuisine is hearty and deeply rooted in tradition, shaped by the alpine landscape and rural way of life. Signature dishes include Kasspatzln (cheesy egg noodles), Tiroler Gröstl (a savory skillet dish of potatoes, meat, and onions), and locally cured speck. Sweet treats like Apfelstrudel and Tyrolean Nusstorte are cherished regional specialties. Emphasizing fresh, regional ingredients—such as cheese, meat, seasonal vegetables, and aromatic herbs—these dishes are served in cozy mountain huts and guesthouses, delivering an authentic taste of alpine hospitality.
