Outstandingly beautiful – three days hiking in the Kaiser Mountains

The hike starts in Kufstein, from where you’ll hike through the Kaisertal valley to the Stripsenjochhütte. The second stage takes you over the Kopftörl mountain to Hintersteiner See lake. On the third day, you’ll hike back to Kufstein. The second day is particularly tough, as the challenging ascent to Kopftörl takes in a steep ascent over a scree field. As with all alpine Tours, you’ll need to be prepared for rapid changes in the weather. I experienced everything from sunshine to rain, wind and fog when crossing the pass. But that's exactly what makes alpine hiking so exciting.
Your efforts will be more than rewarded with fantastic views, beautiful flora and cosy huts. The mountain landscape you hike through is simply mesmerisingly beautiful. And with plenty of elevation gain in your legs, a Kaiserschmarrn pancake tastes so much better. I ended the third stage at the Kaiserlift, which takes you down into the valley in a relaxed manner, but you can also descend on foot.
The starting point of the hike is the Kaisertal car park in Ebbs in the district of Kufstein, where you can safely leave your car for a few days. If you’re travelling by train, the bus will take you to the starting point. I’d advise booking accommodation in advance, as I did the Tour in July and the accommodation was all quite full.
Look forward to a hike that is as beautiful as the mountains it passes through.
