WANDERBIRD Trophy
Kitzbühel Tirol
Where Legends Begin Their Journey
Welcome to the inaugural WANDERBIRD Trophy Kitzbühel – where Hike&Fly legends begin their journey a week later within the Red Bull X-Alps 2025. We use this infamous area for the WANDERBIRD Trophy as a perfect start of the Hike&Fly festival week in Kitzbühel. Between Streif and Kitzbüheler Horn, Aurach and Kirchberg, we will play the Hike&Fly game and enjoy a fantastic weekend together. Nestled in the heart of Austria's famous "Grasberge" (grass mountains), where soaring peaks meet gentle alpine meadows, Kitzbühel offers the perfect Hike&Fly playground. The region's unique landscape combines challenging 2000m+ summits with abundant natural launch sites and welcoming valley landings, making it a paradise for our sport.
A Historic First in Perfect Timing
Register now for June 6-9, 2025 (Pfingst-Weekend) as we make history with our first-ever Kitzbühel edition. Experience the euphoric atmosphere as the global Hike&Fly community converges on Kitzbühel, where amateurs and elite athletes alike will share the same trails and thermals. Whether you're chasing personal records, seeking adventure with friends, or are ready to test your strategic decision-making - this is where your story begins.
More Than a Competition
The WANDERBIRD Trophy embodies the pure essence of Hike&Fly – where every participant becomes part of something bigger. Our carefully crafted routes challenge the ambitious while rewarding smart tactical choices. Yet beyond the tracklog, it's the shared moments that make this event special – from summit discussions about line choices to evening celebrations of the day's adventures.
