Mountain hikes Summit hike Salfainssee - Schaflegerkogel (2,405 m) - Kemater Alm mountain hut

Grinzens /
Difficulty ratings: medium
Route length: 15 km
Duration: 7:00 h

We are generally against lumping all mountain lakes into one category, but for the Salfeinsee we highly recommend the ridge - after all, it leads through a beautiful scenery with a view of the Kalkkögel.

Tour character

Initially quite a steep ascent through a wide forest aisle to the Salfeinsee lake, from there the route leads over a beautiful ridge to the Schaflegerkogel with the best views. Partly quite steep descent, but then only on a road out of the valley to the Kemater Alm.

Description

A beautiful circular hike in the Senders Valley (Sendertal). The hike starts at Kaserl car park in the Senders Valley and leads up to the idyllic Salfeinssee biotope, where you can admire stunning reflections of the mighty Kalkkögel mountain range on nice summer days. The highlight of this circular hike, however, is the way the route passes along the mountain ridge via Grieskogel, Breitschwemmkogel and Angerbergkopf to Schaflegerkogel and Kreuzjoch before heading down the back of the Senders Valley to the Kemater Alm mountain hut (the only refreshment stop along the way). The hike then follows the Sendersweg path back to the starting point in Kaserl. Hikers must be sure-footed and in good physical shape.
