Hauser Kaibling (2.015 m) - Höchstein (2.543 m) - Moralmsee

From the top station of the Schladminger Tauern cable car or the 8-seater chairlift Kaiblinggrat to Hauser Kaibling, the trail heads south past the transmitter mast and over a striking grass ridge up to the summit cross of Hauser Kaibling (2,015 m). Up here, the view of the Höchstein gives you a small foretaste of the experiences of the next few hours. Now we go south on the free ridge and through mountain pine fields down to the Rossfeld saddle. We continue on trail no. 780 under the Bärfallspitze to the Seescharte. When you reach the saddle, you can see the lake "Moaralmsee", which is located deep below. A narrow and very steep path leads down to the lake. However, our path leads over a steep step up to the Kaiblinglochscharte. After a short flat stretch it gets steep again - under the Zwiesling there are some wire ropes for protection. The last meters to the Gifpel are once again very demanding and lead over rocky climbing terrain to the cross. Once at the top, the efforts of the climb are quickly forgotten, the view from all sides is indescribably beautiful. After an extensive rest at the summit, the route continues on the northeast ridge down to the Filzscharte. The path leads over rough block terrain, with intermediate safety measures but without major difficulties downhill. At the Filzscharte (2,213 m) the path branches off to the right to the Hans-Wödl-Hütte. Our next destination, the Moaralmsee, is on the left side, we reach the beautifully situated lake after the descent on path no. 781. Impressively the massif of the Höchstein is reflected in the water of the lake. If you follow the little stream that leaves the mountain lake, you will reach the alpine pastures in the Gumpental. Our route, however, leads us along the steep slopes of the Bärfallspitze, which are covered with grass and bushes, back to the Rossfeld saddle (path no. 45). From here we take the shortest way following the marking No. 780 to the starting point at the cable car top station.
