Summit hikes Summit hike: Mayrhofen Ahornbahn bottom station - Ahornspitze

Start your adventure at the Ahornbahn in Mayrhofen and hike via Alpenrose, 1.389 m to the Edelhütte, 2.238 m, before daring the challenging ascent over the Silbersattel to the Ahornspitze, 2.973 m. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are a must, but the breathtaking panoramic view makes every effort worthwhile – the return journey can optionally be shortened with the Ahornbahn.

Description

From there, you continue ascending on marked path No. 42 and follow it to Silbersattel, also known as Popbergschneide, 2.700 m.
