The Salzburger Almenweg around Hochkönig - Including accommodation before and after

During this stage, you will enjoy stunning views of Hochkönig. The route includes steep climbs through occasionally marshy terrain to the Schneebergkreuz. The panoramic views from this summit are the highlight of this stage! Via the Karbachalm, you can take the Kabinenbahn to Mühlbach. Note: The distance and estimated time do not take into account a descent with the Kabinenbahn. If you take it, you can easily shave off more than 2 hours from your hiking day.

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.

After breakfast you can check out. This is the end of the adventure in the Hochköning. We hope to see you again soon. Grüß Gott!
