Onto the Hausberg mountain with panoramic views of the Wilder Kaiser and Hartkaiser mountains and back via the Ranhartalm.
You start at the Hiking info point in Ellmau village centre and hike via the Marienkapelle (St Mary’s Chapel) to the Hausberg mountain (hiking trail no. 8). At the Brenner Alm hut - last chance for refreshments for the next few hours - you branch off onto hiking trail no. 11. Follow this to the Höhenangeralm, Botenalm and Schwendteralm huts through an unspoilt natural landscape up hill and down dale across meadows, forest and along river streams to the Eibergalm hut. The panoramic trail takes you past the Tanzbodenteich pond to the Hartkaiserbahn mountain station. The Bergkaiser restaurant is a lovely place to stop for refreshments on the sun terrace. From here you take hiking trail no. 2 to the Ranhartalm mountain hut. If you fancy a bit of cheese, here’s the opportunity to taste and buy some fresh mountain cheese. Continue along hiking trail no. 7 through a beautiful spruce forest to the Hartkaiser gondola lift valley station and back to the village.
Tips and special features:
Take food and drink with you as the working mountain huts along the Elferweg do not serve food.
Important: sturdy footwear!
The total time can be shortened by around 1 hour by using the Astberglift, or by around 2.5 hours by using the Hartkaiserbahn gondola lift.
