Hiking Trails Under 10 km in Austria

90 routes in Austria qualify, ranked below by how much walkers rate them. They average 5.3 km.

That is 60 percent of the 149 routes we map in Austria. They are shorter than the local average, 5.3 km against 70.7 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 16 m (52 ft) against 756 m (2,480 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.

Half-day routes: long enough to feel like a proper walk, short enough to leave the afternoon free. Most of these are on the gentler end, which makes the list a good starting point if you are new to the area.
