Chapel and summit cross on the Hochwechsel

Highlight • Summit

Wetterkoglerhaus at 1,743 meters at the summit with a weatherproof summit cross and chapel - and the particularly beautiful view.

Hochwechsel

Highlight • Summit

At 1,743 meters, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Wechsel area. Many hiking tours start from up here and there are other seasonally managed huts besides the Wetterkogelhaus directly at the summit. In the Wetterkogelhaus, you can not only strengthen yourself, but also stay in shared rooms and in the mattress camp. For e-bikes in the guest room five sockets are available for loading.

Feistritzer Schwaig

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A lovely old hut open from May to October, Wednesday to Sunday. Cold food options include various breads, schnitzel, and more. For those with a sweet tooth, there are Buchteln (bunches of bread) and various pastries. 😋
