Trail to Hochkönig

Highlight • Trail

From the Mittfeldalm it goes beautifully along the slope. In addition to the main path, there is also a small path that leads up to the alpine pasture. It's a pleasant walk and isn't quite as steep.

There is no rope safety from the approach to the gate pillar. Lots of loose rock and climbing passages. Therefore, surefootedness, a head for heights and really good physical condition are absolute prerequisites.

Starting at 8 a.m. at the Arthurhaus. Unfortunately, we didn't quite make it because there were a lot of clouds up there, the temperature was just below 0 degrees and there was some snow. That was a bit too cold for the dog, so turned around shortly before the finish. But still a great tour.
