The Wildalmseen lakes meant well with us, after all there are three of these idyllic mountain lakes along the way - and one is more beautiful than the other.
Moderately difficult hike through the lovely Kitzbühel Alps landscape past the lower, middle and upper Wildalmsee lakes. From the latter, only a short ascent to the summit of the Schafsiedel, one of the highest peaks in the ridge line of the Kitzbühel Alps. Beautiful distant views of the Hohe Tauern National Park.
The starting point of this hike is the parking lot at Gasthof Wegscheid in Kurzen Grund. From there, follow the signs no. 728 in the direction of Schafsiedel. Along the forest path you reach the alpine pasture area and the Neue Bamberger Hütte. On well-marked mountain paths you walk past the Lower and Middle Wildalmsee lakes, over some terrain steps you reach the Upper Wildalmsee lake and then the Schafsiedel (2,447 m).
You return to the starting point via the same path.
Despite the refreshment facilities, we recommend that you take food and drink with you for the tour.
