Demanding mountain bike route with a sensational panoramic view and everything that goes with it!!
We start directly from Hotel Alpendorf uphill towards Oberalpendorf. From there continue below the Dachmannweg to the Wagrainer Bundesstraße. About 1.5 km along the Bundesstraße towards Wagrain. Then left uphill via Floitensberger Straße. From here it goes uphill about 1,100 meters elevation gain with a few short flat sections. First along a paved road, later on a gravel road. In the upper section the path is partially very steep. But it is worth the effort because the view from Heinrich-Kiener-Haus is truly unique. On the way back we either take the same path or the route to the Vogeihütte. This branches off about 400 meters below the summit and is highly recommended. We always head towards the Vogeihütte and from there the mountain road downhill towards Wagrainer Bundesstraße. From there back to St. Johann im Pongau and finally the Bundesstraße back to Alpendorf.
Author’s recommendation
A Radler and a sausage soup at Heinrich-Kiener-Haus is a must. And afterwards you should definitely have a Kaiserschmarrn at the Vogeihütten!!
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
