From the Ratschings-Jaufen cable car mountain station to the Kalcheralm mountain hut

Take the Ratschings-Jaufen cable car to the mountain station at approximately 1,800 metres above sea level. From there, follow the Ratschings Alpine Pasture Trail (Ratschinger Almenweg) as far as the Rinneralm mountain hut and continue to the Kalcheralm mountain hut.

Alternatively, starting from the mountain station, the Kalcheralm mountain hut can also be reached via the MountainAdventureWorld. At the end of the route, you arrive at the Rinneralm mountain hut, from where you proceed along the same trail to the Kalcheralm mountain hut.

Note: The route follows gravel tracks throughout and does not include any forest trails. It is therefore well suited to mountain bikes and pushchairs.

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