2-Day High-Altitude Tour around Kaisertal - Stage 2

On Day 2, you leave the Stripsenjochhaus and the area of the Zahmer Kaiser, challenging your legs with the ascent via the Bettlersteig to the gentle Steinberg meadows. After enjoying panoramic views of the Wilder Kaiser, you glide down into the valley with the Kaiserlift.

Description

Day 2: Stripsenjochhaus - Brentenjoch/ Kaiserlift - 12,1km - 700hm - 5,5h (excl. 30min lift)
The second stage starts after a good breakfast with a steep downhill route in the direction of Hans-Berger house. From there on to the Hinterbärenbad/ Anton Karg Haus. Directly at the hut the Bettlersteig branches off in the direction of Kaindlhütte. This climb is steep, exhausting and mostly runs in the forest. Once at the top you have a fantastic panoramic view at the north side of the Wilder Kaiser. Take the right path towards Gamskogel and walk partly over the pasture, partly in the forest to the Brentenjoch. There you can decide whether you want to float down with the chairlift, the Kaiserlift or you can continue the last piece on foot. At the valley station it is another 10 minutes walk back to the starting point, or you take the city bus from the Meranser Straße to get to the center of Kufstein.
