- 3 h, 890 m
It is a varied hike up to a cabin, characterised by lots of water.
The scenic ascent leads through an impressive granite landscape with lakes, waterfalls, slabs polished by the glacier and alluvial plains. It is slightly longer than the access from Gelmerbahn’s summit station, nevertheless also suited for families, if the children have some mountain experience and stamina.
Route description
