Hike the Valley

Hike the Valley

The ‘Hike the Valley’ event will take place on Saturday, 4 October, as the highlight of the 1st ‘Hiking Festival in Kleinwalsertal’. The ‘Hike the Valley’ hiking event is all about completing the specified route independently on foot. The focus of ‘Hike the Valley’ is on experiencing nature, community spirit and personal challenge. It is not a competition between participants, so there is no timekeeping. With three different routes to choose from, everyone will find a suitable option to take part in the event and experience the special atmosphere of a sporting event – but without the pressure to perform and the stress of competition. All participants will receive a festive welcome at the finish line and will be rewarded for their achievement with an exclusive Hike the Valley pin and a certificate. During the week, participants in the event will also benefit from great hiking offers. These include guided hikes at attractive prices, special offers from our local sports retailers and yoga sessions to balance out your hiking week in Kleinwalsertal.
