Leaving the hotel, we follow the riverside path around to Weidachsee lake with its stunning views of the Wetterstein Mountains. We emerge from the woodland into the wide open Leutasch valley around Moos with its rich green pastures and wildflowers dotted here and there. Towering above us is the 8773 foot (2662m) Hohe Munde. Continuing on we pass through pretty hamlets on our way back to Weidach.

Our day starts in Seefeld. We gradually ascend the partially wooded slopes with lovely views to the east of the flat plateau, which is a winter haven for cross country skiing, and further afield the Karwendel ridge. Möserersee (lake) nestles in a sheltered, idyllic spot above Mösern, ideal for swimming. Here we can have a leisurely lunch and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. A short, steep descent brings us into the centre of Mösern. Along the way we will enjoy the picturesque Parish Hill (Pfarrhügel,)and wander to the church.

Distance: 10 miles (15½km)

Total ascent: 1,400 feet (420m)

This is a circular walk starting with Wildsee. After ascending Pfarrhügel, crossing meadows and woods with excellent views of surrounding mountains, we arrive at pretty Möserersee lake for lunch before returning to Seefeld on a high level contouring path with wonderful views of the Plateau and Karwendel mountains.

Our walk heads west from the end of the road, never straying far from the Leutascher river, which flows alongside the track. The steep, rocky hillsides are covered in coniferous forests and open pastureland. Our goal is the lovely Gaistalalm Hut, known for its hearty Tyrolean food and a sundeck where we can relax. We will enjoy refreshments and take in our beautiful surroundings before returning to our starting point, along the old riding trails.

Distance: 10 miles (16km)

Total ascent: 1,400 feet (420m)

The harder walk follows the old riding trails before ascending through meadows to the Hammermoosalm, a hut that is high up on the hillside with wonderful views and a fantastic mountain backdrop. Returning to the old riding trail, we head west, meandering up through the trees and open pastures. We visit the Gaistalalm Hut and the Tillfussalm Hut before returning along the riverside track to Klamm.

Distance: 7 miles (11km)

Total ascent: 800 feet (240m)

Our walk starts in Buchen, and a short walk takes us to Ropferstub’m. Here we visit the farming museum and admire the wonderful views along the Inn Valley. We have a steady ascent, crossing the golf course and descend to the Lottenseehutte (a small hut selling Tyrolean specialities). We continue along the edge of the golf course, through woods to arrive at the Wildmoosalm. Here, we can soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the hospitality of a typical Tyrolean hut before we have the short walk to catch a direct bus back to Weidach.

Distance: 9 miles (15km)

Total ascent: 1,500 feet (460m)

Today’s walk begins in Klamm. We head south, through pastures with extensive views before starting a steady ascent through woodland and grassy paths with short steep sections. We continue along the edge of the golf course to arrive at the Wildmoosalm and meet the easier group for strudel and drinks. We complete our walk through pine woods and open meadows to the hotel.

Distance: 7 miles (11km)

From the hamlet of Reindlau, we follow paths in open woodland meandering our way down the Unter Leutasch, looking across the valley to the magnificent mountain scenery. We cross flower-filled meadows and eventually we reach the highlight of the walk, the gorge. After the gorge we continue to descend to the foot of the falls and walk into Mittenwald, with time to explore this very attractive town.

Distance: 10 miles (16km)

Our walk quickly reaches a riverside path; there are wonderful views of the Wetterstein mountains and the lush green meadows as we descend. After we have enjoyed a coffee at the Hubertushof hotel we continue down the valley to the gorge, with its amazing metal walkways. We take the slightly steeper, alternative path as we continue to the foot of the falls.
