Challenging circular hike from the Rofan cable car to the Haidachstellwand (2,192 metres), with 435 metres of elevation gain. A via ferrata also leads to the summit, where spectacular vistas await.
There are two ways to access the Haidachstellwand and it is possible to walk across the summit from both directions. From the top station of the Rofan cable car, walk until you are beneath the Mauritzalm mountain hut. Turn right and walk between mountain pines and over alpine meadows until you reach the western grassy slopes of the Hochstellwand. A steep trail climbs to the first scarp by way of switchbacks. To descend, walk a little further along the summit ridge (2,192 metres) until the path leads down to the eastern flank of the Haidachstellwand. The trail descends a little and takes you to the Krahnsattel and to the Grubalacke. From here, continue along the trail back to the top station of the Rofan cable car.
Take the regional bus to Maurach (line 8332, 4080 or 390) and get off at the "Maurach a. A. Rofan Seilbahn" stop.
Car park Rofan Seilbahn 1 or 2 (paid parking; Rofan cable car passengers receive a refund at the ticket office).
