Description

Join us on a great day hike from the Kaindl Hut to the top of Scheffauer Mountain, part of the Wilder Kaiser. This trail is extremely beautiful and the views from the summit are not to be missed.

Our starting point is the Kaindl Hut.  You’ll have to hike for two hours from the Hintersteiner See Lake to get there. From the hut, we’ll hike for about an hour before we reach the entrance to the mountain Scheffauer. We’ll then climb to the summit, we’ll use steel ropes here and you’ll need to be sure-footed. This section will take us around an hour and a half.

When we get to the top, we’ll be rewarded with awesome views. From the summit, you’ll be able to see the Alps, the Hintersteiner See Lake and more.

We’ll descend via the southern side of the mountain range, passing through picturesque alpine scenery before arriving at the Hintersteiner See, our final destination. 

To take part in this trip you have to be comfortable walking on uneven terrain. It’s also important that you do not have a fear of heights.

Book now and we’ll see you in theWilder Kaiser mountains!
