From the mountain station to the Bärenkopf – 590 metres of elevation gain, a 2-hour ascent, varied route and stunning views over Lake Achensee and the Karwendel.
The trail starts from the top station of the Karwendel cable car (1,500 metres). Follow the trail to the Bärenbadalm mountain hut, then walk in the direction of the Bärenkopf. The trail travels up through forest and open terrain until it comes to a wide plateau. From here, the trail climbs to the summit at an elevation of 1,991 metres (a short section is secured with ropes). The return is via the same route. Alternatively, at the junction, follow the trail to the Weißenbachalm and descend towards the Bärenbadalm, then return via the same route to the top station.
Take the regional bus (line 8332 or 390) to Pertisau to the valley station of the Karwendel cable car and get off at the "Karwendellift Pertisau" stop.
Car park Karwendel Cable Car 1 or 2 (paid parking, fee refunded when using the cable car or with the Achensee Holiday Card).
