Hiking in late summer or autumn
Hiking is a fantastic experience no matter the season, but autumn holds a unique charm that draws many hiking enthusiasts to the mountains, forests, and meadows. The heat of summer fades, the views become crystal-clear, and nature puts on a spectacular show of autumn colours - from golden yellows and fiery oranges to deep rust reds and warm browns. Numerous cosy alpine huts in the Rofan and Karwendel mountains invite you to stop by and savour regional delicacies while admiring panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. For those who want to enjoy a scenic gondola ride, the Karwendel and Rofan cable cars operate until early November (weather permitting).
No matter your route, careful planning is essential - especially for hiking in alpine terrain. Keep in mind that autumn days are shorter and temperatures can drop quickly. Within our hiking route descriptions, you’ll find helpful tips and details, including hut locations, car parks, and more, to help you make the most of your autumn adventure.
