Mountain hikes Pallspitze

Hopfgarten im Brixental / Kitzbühel Alps
Difficulty ratings: medium
Route length: 15.1 km
Duration: 6:30 h

Water-rich – that's how you could describe the ascent through the Frommtal valley. Rustic alpine pastures, secluded mountain trails and a panorama that is second to none. Despite the distance, this tour is very varied and offers unique flora on all exposures of the highest mountain peaks in the Kitzbühel Alps.

Description

The starting point of this tour is the parking lot just before the Erla Brennhütte in Langer Grund. From there you follow the signposting no. 78 and hike into the Frommtal. Along the Frommbach you walk to the Frommalm, which is located at 1609m. Directly after the alpine pasture a mountain path starts, which leads increasingly steeper into the headwaters of the Frommbach. From the Pallscharte, continue along trail no. 78 to the Pallspitze peak (2389 m).
Back to the starting point, follow signpost no. 78 in the direction of the Erla Brennhütte (Martl Erla).

During the tour there are no rest stops, so we recommend to take enough food and drink.
