After travelling up into in the cable car, walkers will already be able to see the restaurant at the Kammerköralm. However, before they have the chance to sample the culinary delights that await within, it is time to explore the educational Triassic Trail. Leading through the Triassic Park, this trail takes walkers not only to some of the finest mountains in the Steinplatte region but also on a journey back in time all the way to the Triassic age when much of the Earth was covered by the huge Tethys ocean. Traces of this ancient body of water can still be found at the Steinplatte and are a fascinating experience for both children and adults alike. The best place to reflect on an action-packed day is in the mountain restaurant at 1,666m above sea level. I recommend trying the homemade specialties such as Tiroler Gröstl and Kaspressknödel," says Kathrin Siller, editor at the regional newspaper Tiroler Tageszeitung and mother to three adventure-hungry children.

Trail description
This short walk begins at the top station of the cable car and starts by leading past the Kammerköralm restaurant, the final destination of our hike. Follow the signs for the Triassic Trail (suitable for buggies and pushchairs), which takes walkers on a 4km journey through the Triassic Park. After passing the reservoir the trail heads in a southerly direction to the western and eastern summits of the Steinplatte mountain with fine views. The route back leads in a north-easterly direction down the "Rote Wand" ("Red Wall") and the northern side of the mountain to the top station of the cable car and the nearby Kammerköralm restaurant.
