Hahnenkamm-Trail
Description
The tour starts in the Gamsstadt or in Kitzbühel. From here, you can either take the gondola as a shuttle function with 0 vertical meters or pedal up to Hochkitzbühel to the Hahnenkamm (1712 meters above sea level). For those who prefer to pedal, take the official cycle route via the Hahnenkamm downhill run up to the Seidalm, the Seidlalm lakes and then on to Hochkitzbühel, the mountain station of the Hahnenkamm cable car. The start of the Hahnenkamm Trail is already waiting here. If you want to gain a few extra meters in altitude or see an incredible panorama, don't give your calves a break and pedal an additional 150 meters uphill to the Ehrenbachhöhe. At the Ehrenbachhöhe reservoir, there is a fantastic mountain panorama of the Wilder Kaiser, the Brixental valley and Sankt Johann in Tirol.
From here, the highest entry point of the Hahnenkamm Trail finally begins. You surf at S0 to S1 level towards the Hahnenkamm cable car. At S1 level, the trail continues outside the tree line, along meadow curves, berms, small jumps and drops, before you briefly land on a shared trail, the difficulty increases to S2 and after around 200 Elevation loss the difficulty changes back to S1. With countless bends and berms, you wind your way back to Kitzbühel, before returning to the flair of Kitzbühel at the legendary Rasmusleiten, the finish area of the Hahnenkamm race and the RedBull Bar. If you have saved the cable car ticket for the Hahnenkamm cable car and completed the tour on foot, you can use this money to treat yourself to a small snack at the restaurants in Kitzbühel, for others it will probably only be enough for an espresso. All in all, a legendary day in a cosmopolitan city, with a trail that is likely to be repeated and the atmosphere is priceless anyway.

Beautiful (by e-bike) short tour with a great panorama and an easy trail that is suitable for everyone. What I didn't realize as someone unfamiliar with the area was that the tour can be wonderfully combined with the Fleckalm trail tour. Once you have arrived on the Hahnenkamm, you can reach the Fleckalm, which is already visible, in just a few minutes, ride down the trail there, choose the ascent of this tour again and then ride the Hahnenkamm trail. Or the other way around, of course.
