The tour
What wild, brave guys they were - in 1907, a handful of adventurous men set out to build the very first refuge here on Hauser Kaibling. Back then, they laid the foundation for today's skiing and hiking paradise.
On the themed hiking trail ‘In the footsteps of the pioneers’ on Hauser Kaibling, you hike into the past. From the 8-seater chairlift Kraiblinggrat mountain station (Krummholzhütte) to the 8-seater gondola mountain station, you will immerse yourself in the more than 100-year-old history of Hauser Kaibling. Packed into exciting short stories, you will learn all about the first hut, the construction of the first cable car and how it came about that you can now float up the Hauser Kaibling in gondolas.
