The Hochiss is 2299 m above sea level. A. the highest mountain in the Rofan, a part of the Brandenberg Alps in Tyrol just on the border with Bavaria. Highly recommended and not too difficult ascent (cable car use possible) with great panoramic views.

At 2,299 meters, the Hochiss is the highest peak in Rofan. Super climb, but no fear of heights, fitness and sturdy shoes are an advantage. Then the descent towards the Dalfazalm, one panoramic view after the other. One or two key points, but are secured with steel cables to hold on. A little care must be owed to the loose subsoil (a lot of small scree). And as I said, you should be free from giddiness.

Also easy to do with a dog!
We started in Maurach, the path is well signposted and nice to walk! Every passage was also easy for our dog. We went from the valley to the Erfurter Hütte to the Hochiss, back via the Dalfazalm to Maurach. Walking time 5 hours 🙂translated by•August 7, 2022
