ellmau wanderkarte

Walking incentives...

Walking area often have booklets of the mountain huts in which you can insert their stamp when you arrived there on a hike. These stamps are worth so many points according to distance and height travelled and can be accumulated to gain a walking medal - I found it an incentive when I was faced with a steep climb , to the hut at the top! This is certainly the case in Ellmau where I managed a silver medal in one week. I think in Kitzbuhel you have to go on a hike with the guide from the tourist board. This is not my style - I like to go at my own pace and stop (often!) when I get out of breath.

Review Helpfulness: 1.5 out of 5 stars
