    Dir Route ist sehr schön aber eher schwer. Und man sollte eher von 7-8 Stunden ausgehen.

    Wir haben nur die ersten 4 Etappen gemacht. Unorganisiert ohne Gepäcktransport. Man startet jeden Morgen wieder im Tal, also morgens „nur“ rauf ( Schattenseite ) und mittags wieder das Ganze runter. Sehr einsam, man begegnet groß niemand. Als Skigebiet beginnt mit Bergbahn, wars damit allerdings vorbei, drum waren wir nach 4 Tagen froh auch weil es bei uns sehr heiss war !! Übernachten 1 Etappe beim Fuchsenwirt, na ja. Preis Leistung geht gar nicht

    Sind im Sommer 2016 den KAT WALK alpin und letztes Jahr (2018) den KAT WALK kompakt gelaufen. Beide Touren sind sehr schön und vom Schwierigkeitsgrad als mittel einzustufen, wobei die Alpin-Tour noch einen Tick anspruchsvoller ist - vor allem was die Kondition/ Gehzeiten anbelangt. Beide Touren sind vom Panorama sehr schön und durch den Tourismusverein gut organisiert. Technische Schwierigkeiten gibt es so gut wie keine und selbst der Abstieg vom Kitzbüheler Horn ist sehr gut gesichert. Absolut empfehlenswert!

    Wunderbare Tour in fast völliger Einsamkeit. Der Parkplatz Krumbach ist wirklich ganz am Ende der Mautstraße im Windautal. Wir haben die Tour in umgekehrter Reihenfolge gemacht und fanden dies wesentlich günstiger, allo erst die Rotwandhütte, dann den Fahrweg zur Filzenscharte und steil durch den Wald abwärts zur Jagdhütte.
