Harschbichl mountain
Five minutes to the gondola and you are in a ski area that deliberately caters to families and beginners: 40 kilometres of well-groomed slopes on the snow-sure north side of the Kitzbüheler Horn.
skiing Dec to Mar · hiking May to Oct
Christmas market
On Advent evenings the baroque main square glows in front of the Leukentaler Dom. You warm your hands at open fires and wander at your leisure past stalls of handmade crafts.
on the main square · late Nov to 24 Dec, Fri to Sun
Eifersbach waterfall
You set off right in the village and follow the stream, over boardwalks and bridges through an almost tropical-looking forest, until the water plunges 25 metres right beside you. A walk children manage well.
from the main square · about 2.5 hours
Hornpark climbing forest
The little ones from age three have a course of their own, the bigger ones ten more, and anyone who dares whizzes across the mountain lake on the flying fox, the Wilder Kaiser right before their eyes.
Harschbichl middle station · half a day
Knödel festival
In September you sit down at a table that runs 595 metres along the Speckbacherstraße and taste your way through some two dozen kinds of dumpling, from bacon to apricot.
