Hiking Highlight
We first took the cable car from the middle station to the summit. At the top you have a wonderful 360 degree panorama. On one side the Chiemsee and on the other the mountains.
Then we descended to the middle station. Duration approx. 11 / 2h. Was also very nice.
For me the most beautiful day!

Great view over the Chiemgau - Tip: with the cable car to the middle station and the last 500 vertical meters on foot to the summit -interessant way with alpine views. To stop then to the rustic summit house.

An alternative route for hikers, but perhaps weakened nature lovers, begins at the Steinbergalm, from Ruhpolding to reach by car, parking EUR 2.
From there to the middle station runs a beautiful and easy to walk forest road with very low gradients.

The "viewing pulpit" of the Chiemgau is called the Hochfelln. Elsewhere on the edge of the Alps, before the first higher mountains, there are smaller ones, the Pre-Alps. Not so here at the foot of the Hochfelln. To the north, the smooth Bavarian lowlands stretch for more than a hundred kilometers. The mighty glacier that stretched into the valley here in the last ice age left behind a few scree walls, nothing else. Every attempt at a pre-alpine hill was flattened. The armor of the glacier was up to 300 meters thick here in the Ice Age. When it melted, the original Chiemsee was formed. So much meltwater accumulated that the lake was more than twice the size of today's excursion paradise. That was a few thousand years ago. A few moments ago in geological terms.

The Hochfelln is always worth climbing. Numerous paths lead you to this popular Chiemgau summit. It is understandable that there is always something going on here, because the view is magnificent. In front of you is the Chiemsee and behind you a sea of mountain peaks.
No matter which way you choose, rustic alpine pastures will tempt you to sit and feast. Don't be tempted too early, because you shouldn't miss the view from the summit!
If time is still short, you can use the Hochfellnbahn to shorten the ascent or descent. Information at: hochfelln-seilbahnen.de

Great view over the Chiemgau. Easy to reach thanks to the cable car. Nice mountain inn on the summit.

Easy to climb and the view is blocked by nothing. The nearby chapel is also very cute

Nice mountain with good hiking trails and great views. There are also plenty of places to stop for a bite to eat. Due to the cable car operation, it is also heavily visited

From the summit you have a magnificent view of the Chiemsee.

On the one hand there is a wide view and on the other hand a beautiful backdrop with a chapel and Hochfellgnipfelkreuz

On the way to the Hochfelln summit worth a detour at the Bründlingalm bruendlingalm.de 😋🍻

A great mountain, even with little foresight. We had fog in the valley, but on the mountain we broke through the clouds. In front of us was a huge sea of clouds, incredibly beautiful!

It was a really nice tour, the path was along a small stream all the time. From the middle station, it was almost all the time in front of the mountain, over very varied paths, up to the summit cross. The way back, made my daughter, my son-in-law and our dog on foot to the starting point, I went with the cable car, because my knee downhill unfortunately does not like. In any case, it was a very worthwhile tour, with great views.

The most beautiful panoramic mountain in the Chiemgau Alps, highly recommended even in winter.

From here you have a sensational view of Lake Chiemsee

The Hochfelln was one of the first mountains I climbed.
The first is very easy to walk on, has wide paths that are used as ski slopes in winter, a few narrower passages and some next to three train stations (Tal, Mittel and Berg)
No matter which Alm you choose, it is always wonderful and, above all, delicious!
Be careful in winter or when it is slippery, as the path becomes difficult from the middle station. Walking on ice just isn't pretty. Then rather drive from the middle station up the mountain.
The view is insane. Chiemsee and "Flachland" on the one hand and a mountain view to the Central Alps on the other.
Always a highlight for young and old.
The snack plate at the summit is highly recommended!
