Trail Reviews
A nice tour from the mountain station to the speikboden summit. Stop at the sonnklarhütte and then over the Michlreisalm back to the mountain station. We often stopped to admire the panorama. Surefootedness is successful.
An easier tour starting at the Speikboden mountain station. There are 500m in the ascent, but the ascent is practically "tiled", i.e. there are many steps that facilitate the ascent to the small nock and then past the large nock to the summit of the Speikboden. After the descent from the Speikboden summit, you can use the Sonnklar hut, which is located directly at the mountain station of the chairlift, and later also the hut of the Trejer Alm as a place to stop for refreshments.
I started today in drizzle and 6 degrees. The starting point was the Speikboden cable car at 1958m. I had decided on the long circuit, with 3 summit crosses (smaller Nock 2227m/Speikboden 2518m/Sonnklar Nock 2390m). From Sonnklar onwards, Klara was merciful and showed herself more and more in sections. The ridge paths are great. I admire those who built and secured these paths. With a little more visibility, the hike would have been even more impressive; from the Sonnklar hut you have a view of various South Tyrolean mountain highlights... but even so - really great!
A very nice circular route, at the top of the ridge the wind blows strong and cool. The all-round view was magnificent... the landscape and the view changed every minute. 👍🏼🤩
So today was a great tour at Speickboden ⛰️🚶💪😍👌😇🍀🌈 I'm still totally overwhelmed by the impressions, rocky, rugged paths and this incredible view all the time 🤩🤩🤩 I can only warmly recommend everyone to imitate 👍😃 You should be a bit sure-footed and free from fear of heights because the path is very narrow in parts or leads over a ridge 😉 but in my opinion nothing really wild 😇 and that's what makes it so interesting and varied 👏🤘😅 @Daggi The Speickboden says hello to you 😃😇👍
The start is at the car park (free) of the Speikboden cable car. From there, the gondola takes you about 1000 meters up to the Speikboden Alm. In summer 2024, the ascent and descent cost €27.50. Once at the top, you walk the well-signposted and perfectly prepared "Giro Panoramico". The name says it all, you have a wonderful 360-degree view almost the entire tour. The view from the 2517m high Speikboden is particularly worthwhile. Various alpine huts with catering offer a place to rest along the way. The entire complex is very suitable for families, from small hiking tours, a children's via ferrata to several large slides, everything is there.
A really beautiful panoramic hike with several opportunities to stop for a break. The paths are well signposted and laid out. There are 3 alpine pastures where you can stop for a break. You just need a bit of stamina.
Most beautiful panoramic tour. We spent the whole day with the kids and there was no boredom. There was always something to see or admire. There are even geocaches hidden on the tour that have to be found... The via ferrata for kids is definitely possible with children aged 7-8 and above. A family before us did the climb with a 4-year-old. Try the tour. It gives you so much more than anything else...
