Summit hike
from the valley station to the Hochkar summit
-
Wanderwege am Hochkar
- Walking time: approx. 1.5 hrs.
- Difficulty level: medium
Starting point of this hiking tour for the whole family is the parking lot at the Hochkarbahn valley station. On trail no. 16 you walk comfortably in the direction of the Draxlerloch.
Tip: Especially in the morning you have a fascinating view at this point. The valley is still covered by ground fog, and the first rays of sunlight bring the mountain peaks to life. Now you're going up, but without a distinctive slope, until you cross the cirque slope. Step by step you walk along the trail until you reach the Scheinecksattel (1,529 m).
On the panoramic grade, the path leads between fragrant mountain pines to the Hochkar summit at 1808m. From here, you can call yourself Hochkar summit striker and immortalize yourself in the summit book.
