HIKING TRAILS
Hiking amid panoramic views, freedom, and stunning mountain scenery.
Axamer Lizum delights visitors with fantastic hikes amidst the impressive mountain scenery of the Kalkkögel—from leisurely panoramic trails to
challenging summit hikes, there’s something for every skill level. Crisp mountain air, unique views, and alpine nature make every hike a
special moment.
However, the power of the mountains should never be underestimated: Parts of the hiking area are located in high-alpine terrain that is technically challenging.
That’s why we recommend careful trip planning, appropriate and professional gear, and staying informed about current weather conditions. Safety and
respect for nature always come first, so that your mountain experience in the Axamer Lizum remains unforgettable.
