Hinterbichl - Clarahütte

Duration: 05:25 h
Distance: 11.7 km
Ascent: 810 m
Descent: 100 m
We start the day with an easy and scenic walk towards the Islitzer Alm—make sure to take a break here for a coffee and a generous plate of Kaiserschmarrn (kids love it!). From there, it’s just a short and relaxed stretch to the Umbalfälle, a series of beautiful waterfalls that are also a local favourite, especially on sunny weekends. There's a fun, family-friendly path along the falls with wooden platforms and viewing points that make it extra exciting for little adventurers. After soaking in the views, the trail gently climbs further into the valley. It's a steady but manageable uphill walk to the Clarahütte, perched at 2,038 metres and surrounded by impressive mountain scenery.

Clarahütte - Neue Reichenbergerhütte

Duration: 05:00 h
Distance: 10.1 km
Ascent: 740 m
Descent: 200 m
On the second day, we follow the trail back a short distance before crossing the mountain river Isel—a scenic spot and a nice change of pace. From there, the route leads us into the quiet and picturesque Dabertal valley. If you're hiking in June, there's a good chance you'll come across some lingering patches of snow along the way, adding a touch of alpine charm to the landscape. About halfway through the hike, we enter the Hohe Tauern National Park. The path here is relatively flat and easy-going, making for a pleasant walk with time to take in the views. We end the day at the Neue Reichenberger Hütte, located right next to the serene Bödensee glacial lake—a peaceful and beautiful place to unwind after a rewarding day on the trail.

On the final day of your 3-day trek, depart from the serene Neue Reichenberger Hütte (2,586 m), situated beside the tranquil Bödensee.

From Rote Lenke, the path descends through the Michltalscharte towards the Lasnitzenalm, transitioning from rocky terrain to lush alpine meadows. Continuing downward, the trail winds through forests and open pastures, culminating in the picturesque village of Hinterbichl (1,329 m). This final leg covers approximately 14 km with a descent of about 1,250 m, taking around 5 to 6 hours to complete. It's a rewarding conclusion to your introductory alpine adventure.
