Upper Ridnaun High-Alpine Trail

The hike begins at the mountain station of the Rosskopf cable car. The route initially follows trail no. 23 to the left, almost reaching the Kuhalm mountain hut. From here, the high-alpine trail “Ridnauner Höhenweg” branches off, leading to the Ochsenalm mountain hut and continuing beneath the peaks of Telfer Weißen.

Continue following the signposts for the high-alpine trail, passing the Seeberalm mountain hut, Seeberseelake and the Prischeralm mountain hut. The descent follows trail no. 27 down to Maiern in the Ridnauntal valley. You can travel back to the starting point by public transport.

The opening hours of mountain and alpine huts can be found here.
