I generally followed Hahnenkamm – Seidlalm – Ganslernalm on AllTrails. But diverged a number of times if any other trail heading downhill looked more interesting.
The Seidlalm reservoirs were a highlight, slightly off that route.
With good weather I did find it an easy day. Starting at the top of the mountain (2000m) and finishing in Kitzbühel (762m), it IS a lot of downhill. 😀
IF headed for Austria, do some research into tourist passes.
For example, many hostels and hotels can give you a FREE tourist card.
Out of Kitzbühel, that means free train and bus travel.
Free transportation over this area.
With that card, next check for deals on lift tickets. Over 3 days. Over 5 days. Etc.
Therefore it’s recommended to go shoulder season, either Spring or Autumn.
Want to trek the Tour du Mont Blanc but don’t have the money to book accomodations along the way or to pay for a guided tour?
Want to hike the TMB this summer and but everything is already booked?
Last summer I hiked the TMB on a last minute whim, with no planning, and no budget. And I still had the time of my life on this bucket-lis hike. So I’ve distilled what I learned into this video to help you make it happen tomorrow.
You can see weird and wild limestone spires right from town. Convenient, efficient public transport makes for easy access to trails for hikers of all levels of ability.
Note. The video incorrectly mentions that Mt. Toubkal 4,167 m (13,671 ft) requires a guide. Not so. You can easily do it independently though it’s longer than an easy day hike. And altitude sickness is a big risk.
