Description

This three-day multi-day tour of the Kaiser Mountains takes in the most beautiful mountain landscapes around the Kaiserwinkl region. Starting in Kössen, the route first leads via Schwendt and Griesenau into the wild and romantic Kaiserbach Valley. Here, the mighty rock faces of the Wilder Kaiser rise impressively into the sky. From the Griesner Alm, a varied mountain trail leads up to the Stripsenjochhaus at 1,577 metres, where a breathtaking panorama of the Totenkirchl, Fleischbank and Predigtstuhl unfolds.

On the second day, the hike leads from the Stripsenjochhaus through the unspoilt alpine landscape of the Zahmer Kaiser. Via the Feldalmsattel, the Hochalm and the Hageralm, the route takes you past flowering mountain meadows and rustic alpine huts towards Walchsee. After the hike, the idyllically situated lake invites you to relax and unwind.

The third stage leads from Walchsee, first past the Schwemm nature reserve and then via the Hitscheralm up to the Wandberghütte and Burgeralm. The route continues via the Priener Hütte and the Breitenstein, with its magnificent views of the Kaiser Mountains and the surrounding peaks. Via the Karalm and Edernalm, the trail finally leads back to Kössen.
