Description

The hike starts at the valley station of the Rosshütte cable cars and first leads into the upper Hermannstal valley. From there, the "Krummer Steig" winds steadily uphill to the Panorama Restaurant Rosshütte.

At the top, a well-deserved break awaits. The restaurant offers regional specialties and a breathtaking view of the surrounding peaks and valleys—a perfect moment to take in the stunning landscape.

The return route leads past the Kaltwassersee back to the valley. A short detour is worth it: the reservoir reflects the surrounding mountains, creating a beautiful and peaceful setting. After circling the lake, the trail continues to the Hochegg Alm.

Here, the sun terrace invites you to take one last break. With homemade specialties and a view of the alpine scenery, the hike comes to a relaxed and enjoyable end before returning to the starting point.
