Kitzbüheler Alps Hiking Guide

<p>For most people, the Kitzbühel Alps are synonymous with alpine skiing on the piste and in touring terrain. Skiing took root here early on and is still at home there today. But if you only know the mountain group in the white and black of winter and in the vicinity of the cable cars, you should definitely visit it once when the mountain spring provides the mats with millions of splashes of color, when entire mountain flanks glow in the red-green of the alpine roses in June and July or when first-class visibility sets in during the mild autumn weeks. You are sure to be amazed, go into raptures about the green hiking mountains around Kitzbühel and certainly return home with a gift!</p< <p>The author Sepp Brandl, an outstanding expert on this mountain region, presents a total of 60 routes - from easy hut and alpine pasture hikes to routes to more challenging peaks. Mountain lifts are used as ascent aids for some of the tours. The tour area of this Rother hiking guide extends from Alpbach to Pillersee and from Pass Thurn to the Inn and Brixental valleys. It therefore includes the larger part of the Kitzbühel Alps, which belongs to Tyrol and is accessible from the north, and a peripheral strip of the Loferer Steinberge mountains.</p> <p>Tour descriptions, detailed route descriptions and detailed map sections at a scale of 1:50,000 or 1:75,000 make all tour suggestions easy and safe to follow. The color-coded difficulty rating makes it easier to select the destinations and numerous color photos awaken the desire to hike. </p> <p>Sepp Brandl | Bergverlag Rother | 5th edition 2013 | 192 pages | 112 color illustrations, 60 hiking maps at a scale of 1:50,000 and 1:75,000, 60 elevation profiles and two overview maps at a scale of 1:300,000 and 1:500,000 | format 11.5 x 16.5 cm | paperback with Polytex lamination</p>
