Join Inghams guided walks in Kitzbühel
There are two full-day walks per week in Kitzbühel, just for Inghams guests and when you stay in Westendorf it's easy for you to join. Join a small group and be led by a professional walking guide on some of their favourite trails. It’s a great way to get to know the area. The walks in Kitzbühel are run by David Hechl.
In Summer 25, they're available from 26 May - 12 Sep. Walks will run on Mondays and either Thursdays or Fridays - please see the dates by the walk descriptions below. You can add the walks onto your holiday at the time of booking, through My Booking or by giving us a call.
Please note: the walks all take place in or around Kitzbühel, and you'll need to make your own way to and from the starting point (usually by train), which will be advised by your overseas representative.
