Hiking festival - Hike the valley - in Kleinwalsertal

Exercise, nature and community: the new hiking festival in Kleinwalsertal, which takes place for the first time this year from October 5 to 10, 2026, combines all of this. The big highlight will be the spectacular "Hike the Valley" event on October 10, where leisure hikers, families and sporty mountain enthusiasts will go on a tour together.
Registration will be possible from the end of April.

Three routes - something for every level
Participants can choose between three routes on the 185 kilometers of marked trails in Kleinwalsertal:

• Bronze: family-friendly 8 km / 300 m ascent
• Silver: enjoyable nature route over 18 km / 700 m elevation gain
• Gold: sporty challenge with 23 km / 1,000 m elevation gain

It's not about stopwatches and rankings, but about the shared experience in the mountains. Every participant receives an award at the finish - regardless of their time.
A varied supporting program awaits visitors around the Walserhaus in Hirschegg from 11.30 a.m.: Testival with equipment suppliers, after-hike yoga for tired legs, live music and regional delicacies and hands-on activities for children.

A heart project with a vision
Initiator and tourism director Justina Rokita puts a lot of passion into the new format: "The hiking festival is a project close to my heart. As a passionate hiker, I want to share our enthusiasm for hiking and provide new impetus for the region. It's about living alpine solidarity, innovation and the joy of being out and about together."
