Description: The Pinzgauer Spaziergang trail, at an altitude of around 2,000 metres above sea level, is one of the most beautiful mountain hiking trails in the Eastern Alps with an amazing view of the peaks of Hohe Tauern. During the whole tour, the Salzach valley lies at your feet. Above it, famous peaks such as the Großglockner, the Kitzsteinhorn, the Granatspitze, the Sonnblick and the Großvenediger rise up into the air.
Directions: The starting point of the tour is at the top station of the Schmittenhöhe gondola after a comfortable ascent. The well-marked mountain hiking trail (paths nos. 19 & 719) leads from here in a westerly direction, past Kettingtörl, Kettingkopf, Kesselscharte, Rohrertörl, Kammscharte, Klingler Törl, Medalscharte, Sommertor and over the Murauer Scharte to the Bürglhütte in Stuhlfelden.
NOTE! Hikers with a great stamina can take one or another summit experience with them - please note that the summit ascents are not included in the hiking time! You can descent to any village below - hiking time approx. 3 hours.
