The tour
This medium-difficult hike to Hauser Kaibling is recommended for all summit stormers who want to enjoy a breathtaking 360° panoramic view of the Ennstal, the Dachstein Massif and the Schladminger Tauern. This hike is a particular hit during the Alpine rose blossom season. The view from the Kaibling summit and the lushly blooming alpine roses on the slopes of the Kaiblingalm in the second half of June are worth experiencing.
Turn-by-turn directions

Option 1
The great difference in altitude can be comfortably overcome with the Schladminger Tauern cable car or Hauser Kaibling 8-seater gondola lift & Quattralpina 4-seater chairlift. First we head towards the transmitter. From there, we take hiking trail no. 44 towards the Hauser Kaibling summit. The half-hour ascent to the summit of the Hauser Kaibling (2,015 m) offers great views and the summit panorama is magnificent. The descent to the Rossfeldsattel requires some attention due to the root path. From the Rossfeldsattel, the path leads to the Kaibling Alm. Tip: Take a short detour to the keep (approx. 15 minutes longer). From the Kaiblingalm, it's a short downhill walk to the beautifully landscaped reservoir. We walk around it and on a wide alpine path we return to the mountain station of the Schladminger Tauern cable car.


Option 2
From the mountain station of the cable car to the Hauser Kaibling summit and directly back to the mountain station (time required: approx. 50 min.)
