Around the mountain Hochkönig it is a paradise for hikers in the summer. Hiking through an impressive landscape, resting in cozy mountain huts and enjoying all the regional dishes at dinner: this is what makes this region so attractive. Hike the first part of the Salzburger Almenweg!
During this 4-day walk you walk about 48 kilometers including 2300 altimeters. Highlight of this four-day walk is stage 3 where you reach Schneebergkreuz at 1900 meters. The view here is unforgettable. You stay overnight at the mountain hotel Arthurhaus, the cozy Mittereggalm and a local hotel in Mülbach.
Perhaps the best thing about this tour; your dog can join you, too! We will organize your four-legged friend's stay in the accommodations, but keep in mind that it doesn't stop there. Besides the fact that your dog has to be able to be together with other dogs and children, you also have to bring all your own supplies. With this, we try to help you as much as possible in the travel guide.
The next day we take the Mülbarger Bergbahn back to Karbachalm, where stage 4 begins. This stage offers a scenic route with some steep descents and wide-open views. Along the way, you’ll reach Gamskögerl, where you can soak in panoramic vistas in every direction. The trail then leads down towards Böndlsee, and from there it’s about a 45-minute walk to the Lend/Salzbach Bahnhof train station. From here you can easily catch a train back to Pfarrwerfen or Salzburg.
Note: If the cable car from Mülbarger Bergbahn back to Karbachalm is closed, you will need to take Route Option 2. This alternative is also ideal for those who prefer a shorter day. Route Option 2 follows a more direct path to Werfen, partly retracing the trail from the first day, and brings you back to the valley sooner without missing the charm of the mountains.
