Pillersee lake circuit
Quiet walk around the lake at St. Ulrich am Pillersee
The Pillersee lies in the PillerseeTal between St. Ulrich am Pillersee and Sankt Jakob in Haus, surrounded by mountains of the Kitzbühel Alps. Several easy walking routes lead around the lake, and they are also suitable for pushchairs. The Pillerseerunde from St. Ulrich is about 4.4 km and takes roughly 1 hour 10 minutes; the Weiler Runde is about 7.2 km (around 1 hour 50).
Along the way you pass shoreline, meadows and woodland. The routes are flexible: you can walk part of one and turn back, or do the full circuit. Combine it with a visit to St. Ulrich. Ask the tourist office for current routes, as the variants differ in length.
