A bit of climbing is a must - Peitingköpfl on the Hochalm

Fitness: strength for about 2 hours uphill with 700 meters elevation gain. Total hiking time about 4 hours.

Briefly: The ascent to the alpine pasture runs mostly on a beautiful path through the forest. Afterwards, follow a path over the alpine meadows; in the last section before the summit, there is a small climbing passage included. You may need to briefly use your hands here, but the section is not exposed and is well manageable even for younger hikers. The return follows the same path to the Hochalm and then to the Gschwendteralm on a forest road, where you turn onto a forest path towards Heutalbauer.

Route highlights: The Hochalm with the snack station as well as the alpine huts and cows ... and of course the summit experience at the Peitingköpfl. Don't forget the summit photo and to sign the summit book.

The route is part of the "Hiking with Kids" in the Salzburg Saalachtal. Duration and difficulty are designed for children/families.
