Hiking

This tour is not a walk in the traditional sense. A few too many meters in altitude are involved and a certain level of fitness is required. But you can still look forward to it: you will get to know the Salzburg Pinzgau again from a particularly promising side.

To tackle this tour, you first let the Schattberg X-press (saalbach.com/de/service/infektur/a1-a2-schattberg-br-x-press_a_1592) "fly" you up the mountain . Then the hiking feet take over and carry you up and down through the wonderful mountain world.

First stop: the Hacklberg Lakes. Their picturesque surroundings are ideal for a short rest. Then you climb over the Klingler- and Seetörl to the Klammscharte - of course, a grandiose view included. Over the Rohrertörl, past the Hochsonnbergalm and the Maurerkogel, you march through the lush green landscape to the Kesselscharte. And from there it is not far to your destination, the Schmittenhöhe with a magnificent view of the glittering Lake Zell.

Tip: Because there are no huts on the way to stop for refreshments, you should definitely pack enough water and snacks. You can also look for your own private picnic area in the wonderful natural surroundings.

A very beautiful panoramic mountain trail that lives up to its name. If you use the ascent and descent aids, you can enjoy a long hike with few meters of elevation and a constant great view. The level of difficulty only comes from the 17.5 km 😊

Today we set off from the West Summit on the Pinzgau walk.
A dream path 🥰😍!
In glorious weather 🌞🌞 we walked along a fantastic high-altitude hiking trail towards Schmittenhöhe.
We were constantly treated to a panorama that was enough to make us melt away. The view of the Hohe Tauern National Park was unbelievably gigantic. The view was so …
