Description

The starting point for this hike is the Hopfgarten middle station, which can be reached comfortably from Hopfgarten on the Salvenbahn 1 cable car. From there, follow forest trail no. 99 to the beautiful Hohe Salve reservoir. Continue to the Salvensee lake, accompanied by the marvellous panoramic view, via trail no. 90/99. The final ascent over the southern slope (no. 90/95) is a little more challenging, but you will be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view from the summit of the Hohe Salve.

Follow the signs no. 90/95 back to the starting point in the direction of the Hopfgarten middle station.
Alternatively, you can take the Salvenbahn cable car back down to the valley.
