This is a cleared winter hiking trail, though icy or slippery sections may still occur.

The fourth and final stage of Tyrol’s 1. Winter Multi-day Hike leads up to the Katzenkopf. The destination rewards you with a breathtaking panoramic view and regional delicacies at the Katzenkopfhütte (1,360 m).

From yesterday’s endpoint at the Leutasch Music Pavilion, walk back towards Hotel Leutascherhof and follow the sidewalk to the left. Shortly after, turn left into the street opposite Haus Bergkristall, heading towards Katzenkopf. After the small bridge, the path ascends gently; at the fork, keep slightly right (do not follow the dead-end). At the next junction, turn left, continue straight ahead, and after the last houses, turn left into the forest. If you’re staying at Hotel Kristall, you can start directly from there. Follow the trail uphill through the forest and, just before reaching the Katzenkopfhütte, turn right twice in quick succession — and you’ve reached your destination.

For a fun finale, you can rent a toboggan/sledge at the valley station beforehand and enjoy a 15-minute downhill ride back into the valley. Alternatively, take the Katzenkopf lift down if you prefer
