Carnic altitude trail. Stage 4: Porzehütte – Hochweißsteinhaus

Obertilliach / Karnischer Hauptkamm
Difficulty ratings: difficult
Route length: 16.9 km

Today's stage is long, exhausting and demanding. But it also offers fantastic views of one of the most impressive mountain backdrops in the Alps. And then the Hochweißsteinhaus, with its striking roof and hospitality. This day cries out for bacon, cheese, strudel and wine. The innkeepers offer their guests all this and more.

Tour character

Difficult stage on black mountain paths. The route requires surefootedness for steep climbs and paths uphill and downhill. The 17 kilometers and over 1,000 meters of ascent and descent require a good level of fitness.

Description

This section of the Carnic altitude trail has been very well designed and for a mountain trail is surprisingly broad, on wide route sections, but it is also very exposed. From the Porzehütte up to Tilliacher Joch, from there via the Reiterkarspitz and the Hochspitz to Luggauer Törl and finally to Hochweißsteinhaus.
