A trail, secured in places with wire ropes, runs between the Kellerjoch Hut and the Kellerjoch Chapel. It's easily walkable, but sure-footedness and a head for heights are essential.

The four-kilometer route descends from the Hecherhaus to the Grafenast mountain hut – momentum, powder snow under your runners, and magnificent views included. This route is perfect for anyone who loves winter action and wants to enjoy the scenery. The ascent can be made either on foot or with the Kellerjochbahn cable car. If there is enough snow, the tour can be extended: Then it continues from the Grafenast via Egertboden to Freundsberg Castle – on the longest toboggan run in North Tyrol (nine kilometers), awarded the Tyrolean Natural Toboggan Run Seal of Quality.

In winter, the Kellerjochbahn chairlift takes you up to the Hecherhaus at 1,887 meters. There, you can stop for a bite to eat, stay overnight, or even start your snow adventure right away. You can find more information about the inn on its website: https://www.hecherhaus.at/.

Numerous serpentines wind through the picturesque mountain landscape between the Kellerjochhütte and the Naunzalm. It is worth stopping every now and then to enjoy the fantastic view of the surrounding peaks and down to Schwaz.
