This independent walking week is based in the tiny hamlet of Kirchplaztl, in the heart of the Leutasch Valley. Tucked away next to the onion-domed village church is our hotel, owned by the Ennemoser family. The oldest inn in the valley, it has been sensitively modernized to incorporate all the luxuries you would expect of a **** star establishment. The huge bedrooms are more like apartments, with your own lounge area and tea/coffee-making facilities, and the bathrooms have both a bath and a shower. There is a heated indoor swimming pool, two saunas, steam bath, whirlpool bath and solarium (pay locally), fitness studio, boot room, and if you want to spoil yourself, beauty treatments and massages at extra cost.  For children, there's an indoor play area and games room, with table tennis, pool, table football, darts and pinball.

Breakfast is an enormous hot and cold buffet and picnic lunches are provided for all walking days. Evening meals are served in the hotel’s elegant dining room - gorgeous mountain views. Hubert Kobinger has been the hotel’s chef for the last 27 years and his menu is an interesting blend of Tyrolean specialities and international dishes.

Opposite is a suggested week of two-boot walks. There is also a full programme of one-boot walks along flat valley trails and using mountain lifts to gain altitude. Leutasch tourist office offers free guided walks on most days.
