Hiking
Approximately 1,000 km of Hiking Trails

Swimming
Schwarzsee
Located just about 2 km west of Kitzbühel, Schwarzsee is a moor lake and one of the warmest swimming lakes in the Alps. The beach area, with a large sunbathing lawn, boat rentals, and views of the Wilder Kaiser, is a favorite spot for locals on summer days.
A stroll around the lake is also worthwhile – especially beautiful in the early evening.
