Gailtaler Höhenweg, Mountain hiking trail in Spittal an der Drau District, Austria.
The Gailtaler Höhenweg extends 150 kilometers through the Gailtaler Alps, reaching elevations between 2000 and 2300 meters above sea level.
The trail network developed as a northern parallel route to the Karnischer Höhenweg, establishing a connection between Marchgraben and the towns of Villach and Spittal.
Local mountain communities maintain traditional Alpine customs along the route, with regional architecture visible in mountain huts and farmhouses throughout the journey.
The complete trail takes approximately ten days to complete, requiring proper physical preparation and adequate mountain equipment for the T2 alpine hiking classification.
Hikers can select between two distinct path variations at the eastern terminus, following either the southern direction to Villach or the northern route to Spittal.
