Description: In addition to wonderful mountain scenery, this tour offers fantastic panoramic views. However, in some sections of the route the hiking route may not be challenged. On the last part of the tour you have to climb over smaller rocks and walk along narrow paths.
Directions: From the Kaltenbachkehre you hike across a small body of water in serpentines to the lower Kaltenbachsee. Continue across beautiful alpine pastures to the middle and upper Kaltenbachsee. The hike continues over the Etrachboden over a beautiful alpine meadow towards the summit. The last climb is stony-steep to moderately difficult. Surefootedness is an important prerequisite for the last 100 meters. You reach the summit cross after about three hours.
The way back is on the ascent route.
