How do I find hikes reachable by bus & train with NaturTrip Tirol?
Want to hike without a car and save both the climate and your nerves? With NaturTrip Tirol you can easily find hikes with bus and train access – tailored to your location.
Visit develop--nat-tirol.netlify.app and choose a category such as Schneeschuhwandern, Point to point hikes, Hiking, Family Hikes, Long-distance hikes, Trailrunning, Winter hiking. Then enter your starting point (e.g. Kufstein) or use automatic location detection. On the interactive map you immediately see which tours are easy to reach by public transport from your location.
"Easy to reach" means for NaturTrip:
- maximum 2 transfers
- at most 20 minutes walk to the stop
- at most 20 minutes walk from the stop to the trailhead

What types of hikes are available on NaturTrip Tirol?
On NaturTrip Tirol you find a wide selection of hikes for every level:
- easy tours with little elevation gain
- challenging hikes
- family-friendly routes with adventure value
- themed hikes (nature, culture, history)

- no user-generated content
So you can rely on solid, trustworthy tour planning.
Are there also point-to-point hikes (A to B) reachable by public transport?
Yes – NaturTrip is especially strong at point-to-point tours (A to B).
This means: you start at one location and end somewhere else – without having to walk back.
How it works: If you're looking for e.g. a 3-hour hike, NaturTrip only shows tours where:
- the starting point is well reachable by bus and train
- there is still a suitable return connection at the end after the duration of the hike
Advantage: Public transport gives you more flexibility than a car – you don't have to return to your starting point but can discover new paths.
Which travel modes does NaturTrip support in Tirol?
In Tirol NaturTrip lets you choose between the following travel modes: car, bike, public transport (bus & train), bike + public transport (Bike & Ride), walking.
This way you'll find round and point-to-point hikes that match your preferred way of getting around – whether climate-friendly by bus & train, by bike, or combined.
What does "bike + public transport" (Bike & Ride) mean? You ride the first or last leg of your journey by bike and take it with you on bus or train. That way you can also reach remote trailheads without a car – ideal when the nearest stop is a bit farther from the starting point.
You can change the travel mode any time in the filter – NaturTrip then only shows tours that are realistically reachable with your preferred mode.
