Discover Höfen: Lech Cycle Path, Hahnenkamm and Tyrolean Tradition

Höfen connects the turquoise Lech with the gentle mountain slopes of Hahnenkamm. The village extends up to the 1,938-metre summit, offering a variety of options for planning your trip: cycling along the Lech, high-altitude trails through the mountain landscape, cultural discoveries and winter slopes can be combined into very different holiday days.

Between the Lech and Hahnenkamm

The Lech Cycle Path runs directly through Höfen. Those who want to plan their trip around a cycle tour or the Lech landscape will find a clearly defined area for activities here. At the same time, the extensive hiking area around Höfen offers well-developed high-altitude trails.

Visitors can reach Hahnenkamm on the modern Hahnenkamm Cable Car. The 8-person circulating gondola lift ascends to Hahnenkamm near Reutte at an altitude of 1,700 metres. The mountain lake at Hahnenkamm offers panoramic views, while the Alpine Garden provides an immediate experience of alpine flora. The garden is barrier-free. These diverse landscape impressions give your trip its own rhythm: An excursion into the mountains can be followed by a more leisurely discovery along the Lech or in the village.

Active Days and Winter Sports

Hahnenkamm also remains an important part of the local identity in winter. The winter sports area associated with Höfen offers 16 kilometres of perfectly groomed pistes. When choosing your holiday apartment or holiday home, you can therefore consider whether you want to focus your stay primarily on winter sports, hiking or a combination of nature and culture. The varied landscapes make Höfen a suitable starting point for a trip where every day does not have to look the same.

Culture, History and Regional Tradition

Höfen also offers small historical and cultural points of interest. The stone-built Maria-Hilf Chapel was constructed in 1692; the ceiling painting was created in 1801 by church painter Josef Anton Köpfle. The Marienkapelle, built in 1876, stands on the Platten. Those interested in sacred art and regional history can include these buildings in their personal plans for discovery without focusing their stay exclusively on sporting activities.

At the “Hangar SW” Museum in Höfen, the exhibitions change, and the museum also hosts events. Tirol evenings take place weekly in summer at the Hahnenkammhalle. The traditional autumn event in Höfen includes the Schafschied. Together with the mountain landscape, this creates a destination that combines nature experiences with regional culture.

Choosing Höfen as Your Accommodation Destination

When looking for accommodation in Höfen, you can first decide which experiences should define your trip. The Lech Cycle Path lends itself to planning focused on the river landscape, while the high-altitude trails and Hahnenkamm are ideal for days in the mountains. The museum, chapel, small church and traditional events add further cultural highlights. A holiday apartment or holiday home in Höfen is therefore particularly suitable for planning a trip that alternates between active pursuits, landscapes and shared discoveries.
