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!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
