Hiking on Steinplatte
Hiking is soothing for your soul…
- TRIASSIC TRAIL (ca. 2 hours) If you are looking for an adventure, this is the trail for you. Scattered throughout the mountainous landscape are life-size dinosaurs waiting to be discovered. The hike starts at the Triassic park and takes you up to the panoramic viewing platform. From here you can enjoy the beautiful view which includes Steinplatte, the Loferer mountains, the Hohe Tauern, the Kitzbühel and the Zillertaler Alps and even the impressive Wilder Kaiser. The trail continues on past the Plattenkogel reservoir and takes you along an informative route all the way up to the Steinplatte summit. The way back takes you down below the „Plattenkogel“ to the Red Wall and back to where you started.
- STALLENALM – GRÜNWALDALM (ca. 2 hours) This trail begins at the top of the Steinplatte gondola. From here, you walk about 30 minutes downhill past the „Jägerkapelle“ and on to the Stallenalm. The Stallenalm’s large sundrenched terrace is the perfect place to stop off for some refreshments. The path then continues on to Grünwaldalm and back around to the „Körersteig“ crossing. Take the path above the Stallenalm back to the gondola station.
- STALLENALM – WINKLMOOSALM – SCHWARZLOFERALM – MÖSERALM (ca. 4 hours) A slightly longer hike, this tour takes you from the gondola, past the Stallenalm and onto the Höhenstrasse on Steinplatte. From here you get a beautiful tour of the surrounding landscape past the Schwarzloderalm, Eibenstockhütte and Winklmoosalm. Heading back you have two options: either past the Muckklause or over the Rossfeld past the Möseralm guesthouse. Both routes take you safely back to the gondola.
- FELLHORN (ca. 6 hours) A day tour with exceptionally stunning scenery. Once past the Stallenalm and the parkinglot at Höhenstrasse, take the nature trail that leads to the Brennhütte. A little further on you will pass the Eggenalm (Alpengasthof Straubingerhaus) and from there you continue left to reach the Fellhorn summit. Once you’re done taking in the breathtaking landscape, head back to the gondola the same way you came!
- KLEMMERICHSTEIG (ca. 3 ½ hours) This beautiful trail, a somewhat more demanding hike, takes you from the Steinplatte to the alpine pastures of Lofer. From the top of the gondola, the route starts downhill in the direction of Möseralm, past the reservoir pond, then heads towards the Kammerköralm and continues along the Nordalpen path and gets you onto the wildly romantic Klemmerichsteig. Via the Schönblick, continue on past the Loferer Alm to the top of the gondola, which takes you directly into the valley to Lofer.
