Description

This tour offers spectacular views from the ridge to the surrounding mountains of the Kitzbühel Alps and Hohe Tauern as well as the wonderful nature experiences along the way. In between you can reward yourself with a visit on the Hochsonnbergalm. 

Directions
Starting from the car park, follow the Schiliftstraße downhill until just before the bridge and turn left towards Angerberg. At the fork in the road (Walcherbach) continue straight ahead and follow the hiking trails 6A, 18 and 18A to the Hochsonnbergalm. From the hut, hike along the Pinzgauer Spaziergang, no. 719 to Röhrertörl. Then the hike leads to the summit of the Oberen-Gernkogel. The descent is either via the exposed and rocky route(secured passage - surefootedness required!) or via the ascent route. From the Hochsonnbergalm the hiking trails no. 18 and/or 18A lead back to the starting point.
