Anticipation is building: Soon, the Kleinwalsertal will once again become the setting for hiking experiences of a special kind. Hiking together, creating unforgettable memories, and mastering a challenge along the way—that’s exactly what Hike the Valley is all about.
Following a successful debut, Hike the Valley is returning and invites you to the second edition of the hiking festival in 2026. The focus isn’t on the kilometers or elevation gain, but above all on the unique experiences along the trails: the views, the encounters, and the feeling of having accomplished something together.
THE EVENT
WHAT IS HIKE THE VALLEY?
Hike the Valley is the hiking festival in the Kleinwalsertal that invites hiking enthusiasts to discover the mountains in a whole new way. There are three different routes to choose from, varying in length, elevation gain, and difficulty. Whether it’s a leisurely hike, a athletic challenge, or a shared mountain experience with friends and family - each route offers its own special moments. Along the way, you’ll encounter breathtaking views, varied trails, and the chance to see the Kleinwalsertal in a whole new light.
And best of all: In the end, it’s not about who reaches the finish line first or who hiked the longest distance, but about the personal experience and the feeling of having accomplished something together.
„Hike the Valley is an invitation from the Kleinwalsertal to experience nature with open eyes, to consciously savor the moment, and to discover a genuine connection to the mountains, the region, and one another as we hike together.“

WHY hike the valley?
With Hike the Valley, we want to bring together people who share a passion for the mountains and want to experience the Kleinwalsertal in a special way. The focus is above all on shared experiences, unforgettable moments, and the joy of spending time in nature.
Everyone experiences the mountains differently. For some, it means being active and exercising; for others, it’s a little break from everyday life or a sense of freedom and happiness - and it’s precisely this diversity that’s reflected in the hiking festival and makes Hike the Valley so special.

In addition to the various hiking opportunities, a yoga session surrounded by the mountains will help you find peace and relaxation, recharge your energy, and prepare for the event day.
