Discover Reith near Kitzbühel

There are several possible focal points for a stay in Reith near Kitzbühel: hikes and winter activities, historical landmarks, and leisure activities. Bichlach adds to these themes as a hilly landscape shaped by glacial erosion, with its own geographical setting. Which of these matter to you depends on whether you mainly want to spend time outdoors or combine different experiences.

Landscape and trails

Bichlach is a hilly landscape shaped by glacial erosion, located between the Reither Ache, the Kitzbüheler Ache, Schwarzsee and St. Johann in Tirol. The name refers to terrain characterised by rounded elevations; glacial erosion describes how it was formed. This places Bichlach in its geographical context through its landscape and landmarks.

Gieringer Weiher adds a waterside spot to the landscape and is used as a public swimming area on the Bichlach circuit. It is a natural gem and invites you to linger. A path passes the Veiten Oak, a peaceful place to pause and enjoy beautiful views over Reith. At the pond, the focus is on the water and public swimming; at the oak, it is on the view over Reith.

The Reither Höhenweg is a hike of around four hours through meadows and forests on Rauher Kopf. The approximate duration helps you plan the tour as a larger part of your itinerary and leave time for other activities. The meadows and forests also give you an impression of the hike’s natural setting. If you would like to include a longer tour in your travel plans, the high-altitude trail is a specific option.

Winter and leisure activities

In winter, Reith has a wide selection of cross-country ski trails. If you would rather learn your first turns on snow, the ski school in Reith has ideal terrain for this.

Your preferred activity can be a helpful starting point for planning your stay.

Other leisure activities are distinguished by their setting: Reither Wiese has two modern outdoor padel courts. LISI World is an indoor play centre covering more than 500 m². The contrast brings out the different options—padel on outdoor courts and a spacious indoor play world. You can consider these activities alongside hikes or winter activities as separate leisure options.
