An entertaining circular hike with magnificent panoramic views awaits us on the Almrunde on the Kitzbüheler Horn. In addition to the view at the summit, a highlight is the lovingly created alpine flower garden on the south side of the mountain.

It is not for nothing that the Kitzbüheler Horn is one of the most popular lookout mountains high above Kitzbühel. Easily accessible by mountain railway, even non-climbers can easily enjoy the impressive panoramic view of the Kitzbühel Alps, the Wilder Kaiser and the Loferer and Leoganger Steinberge mountains. However, we first turn away from the hustle and bustle and hike across extensive alpine pastures in a wide arc around the mountain to its northern side. Only then do we climb steeply up to the panoramic summit. A few metres below, we can fortify ourselves in the Horngipfelhaus. On the descent through the Alpine Flower Garden, nature lovers can admire several hundred plant species from near and far.
