Summit Hike
Hochalmtal - Hohes Licht (2,651 m)

To the west of Prenten, a hamlet in the municipality of Steeg, there is a car park next to the "Lechtalstraße" road where you can leave your car. It is here that this challenging hike begins, heading along a forest road in a northerly direction. A narrower trail then takes you all the way up to around 1,600 metres above sea level out of the forest into open terrain home to plenty of marmots. Hikers then cross the Wieselkar ridge and the Große Steinscharte mountain (2,262 metres). The final section heads east over the Kleine Steinscharte onto the 2,651 metre Hohes Licht mountain.
