Winter Adventure Programme

Snap on the snow shoes and step out into nature: The hike leads around the romantic Thiersee, which has always been a place of spiritual strength, depending on stamina and snow conditions, the hike can be extended and continues to the Dreibrunnenjoch. In bad snow conditions, we will deviate up to the Hinterthiersee area! No previous knowledge required (easy snow shoe hike). Should you have hiking or ski poles with you, please bring them along.
(€ 4.00 per person to rent snow shoes)

Even, or especially in winter, you can strengthen your immune system with herbs and healing plants. Christine from the “Thierseetal Herbal World” provides an insight into the diversity of healing possibilities and strengthening with medicinal plants from our region. Christine is a herbal expert and knows, that “a herb has been grown” for almost every ailment. All participants also have the opportunity, to produce their own personal herbal tea mixture, completely tailored to your own interests.

Visit Albert Schmieder in his also 500 year-old, lovingly restored farmhouse. Enjoy his presentation about the continuation of an old family tradition - the Schnapps distillery. Discover more about the history, technology and sensor technology. Afterwards there is of course the opportunity to try his “Wonder wines” and to purchase them.

We start from the Kaisertalaufstieg, with 345 steps and a difference in altitude of approx. 110 metres to overcome. Nevertheless, the somewhat arduous stair climbing is rewarded again and again with wonderful views of the town of Kufstein and the local mountain Pendling - and a picture-book panoramic view awaits us already. The idyllically-located Antoniuskapelle, unique views of the Wilder and Zahmer Kaiser are highlights of this hike. If desired, you can of course, also stop for a bite to eat in one of the cosy, traditional mountain inns.

On a short hike along the frozen Thiersee, in the winter calm, we get in the mood for this fine afternoon. It's hard to believe which plant treasures, we found here in the summer. From the herbs collected in the previous months, not only tea can be prepared - the possibilities for the use of healing plants are diverse - whether that's herbal wine, herbal powder, chest balm, herbal incense or amulets. We will arrange this informative afternoon according to your wishes. And with a glass of warm tea, made from self-picked herbs, the herbal expert Maria will share valuable tips for your well-being. A little taster, may of course be taken by every guest.

Moving around in the fresh air promotes sleep and digestion. Equipped with a headlamp and snow shoes, we step into the romantic winter night. The snow crunches under our feet as we stomp over the snowy fields. Let the scenery and the peace have an effect on you! A hike through the Tyrolean winter night is something simply special - especially in the romantic Hinterthiersee ...

There are magical places everywhere, which invite you to pause, breathe deeply and breathe new energy. The Riedenberg in the Thierseetal is such a natural place of spiritual strength. But that's not all: The Riedenberg impresses, in particular, with its postcard idyll in the middle of unspoiled nature. From there, we walk with snow shoes to the mystic stone circle, where we will celebrate a small wintry smoking ritual. The “snack stop” at the cosy Berggasthof Wastler should not be missed. Should you have any hiking or ski poles, please bring these with you. Bus transfers available on request: € 6.00 per person (round trip), boarding points and times will be announced during registration.

Equipped with torches, we go on a romantic hike around the Thiersee. Enjoy the clear winter area, the peace and the romantic glistening of the lake by torchlight and in the glowing firelight.

”Tai Chi”(literally: highest principle) is an old Chinese martial art and movement art, whose movements have been developed over hundreds of years for self-defence, health, a long life and for spiritual reasons. It consists of harmonious, flowing full-body movements, which are executed relaxed in slow motion. On a tour of the Thiersee, our trainer Harald, who has trained in China, will introduce you to the art of Tai Chi through various exercises (previous experience is not required). Tai Chi does not mean oriental wisdom or something exotic. It is the wisdom of your own spirit, your own mind and your body together as a process". You don't need any previous experiences, you're in the best hands with Harald - let yourself be surprised. We have, of course, already tested this hike out for you, we will only say so much: we were completely thrilled! Clothing: Adapt to the cold, but keep it as loose as possible.

Once we have left Kufstein, we move into the silence of the winter forest and hike up, past the Stations of te Cross, to the old, romantic Thierberg chapel - a pilgrimage church with Einsiedelei hermitage and a one-of-a-kind old crib. We climb the stairs of the keep and enjoy the splendid panoramic views over Kufstein and the Inntal. On the way back, we go around the Hechtsee, which is located in the middle of a magical winter landscape and after taking a short break, we make way our back to the start point.

With lanterns, cloaks and a halberd, our night watchman leads you through the historic streets of the fortified town of Kustein and along the way tells many stories from earlier days. This hike is not a classic city tour, here, you can find out interesting facts about Tyrolean tradition and legends. An exciting journey into the past.

Kufstein was given city status over 600 years ago and looks back on a long urban life, whose focus was and still is the Kufstein fortress. The City Guides will explain everything from bourgeois life, the meaning of the Inn, fighting for the fortress, new developments and inventions on this city tour.

Breathe in deep and really feel yourself again: The Qi Gong hike leads us through the magical winter landscape around Hinterthiersee and lets us recharge our batteries and release any blockages. The energetic method, coming from China, helps us to bring our body, mind and soul into harmony and balance. Special attention is paid to breathing and relaxation, the light movements are suited to all ages. Previous experience is not required.
