The Brixental Experience takes you through the heart of the Tyrolean Alps, a region where nature and culture go hand in hand. From vast alpine meadows full of edelweiss to cozy mountain restaurants with panoramic views - this hiking tour is full of highlights. Along the way you will pass traditional farms, see marmots scurrying away into the fields and enjoy local cuisine. This adventure is ideal for those seeking nature, tranquility and a touch of adventure. And of course, that beer after a day of hiking tastes nowhere better than here.

This hike is a perfect choice for nature lovers who love variety: alpine meadows, forests and authentic villages alternate effortlessly. The route combines relaxation with being active, making it a great experience for both experienced hikers and beginners who want to enjoy the Alps. And because you can pause along the way at mountain restaurants, you always have a good excuse for a Tyrolean Brettljause (read: time for schnapps and cheese board).

Itinerary

Day

Arrival

Welcome to Brixental! Over the next few days, you’ll hike through a stunning landscape of alpine flowers, forests, and cozy villages. Check in, take a look around, and start to feel the mountain vibe. For a quick preview, find a terrace and enjoy a local beer with a view of the peaks—it’s the perfect start.

Heads-up: High season in this region starts in June. Outside of that period—especially in May—the villages can be very quiet, and many restaurants and shops may be closed. It might be difficult to find a place for dinner, so it’s a good idea to carry some food with you just in case nothing is open.

Important:
The gondolas to Hochbrixen only open at the end of May. If you plan to do this route before then, the lift ride will not be possible, and you will have to hike up instead.
