On this tour, you can expect breathtaking views almost the entire way. Your adventure begins directly from the Hochberg parking lot: the path first leads you through the forest and then into the wide, picturesque alpine area. Along an idyllic forest road, you will reach your first destination, Faulbaumgartenalm, after the first 400 meters of elevation. Here, you can take your first break and enjoy the magnificent surroundings.

But that's just the beginning! Continuing past the unmanaged Filzalm, which impresses with its natural beauty, you will reach the rustic Steinbergalm from the 16th century after a total of 600 meters of elevation and about 2.5 hours of walking. Here, you can rejuvenate in a cozy atmosphere with Almsenner Hannes Klingler and enjoy the historical alpine charm.

After a hearty refreshment, the hike continues upwards to the summit of the majestic Sonnjoch at 2,287 meters. On your way, you'll pass the charming Otto-Leixl-Hütte, hiking for about 1.5 hours and being rewarded with a breathtaking summit experience. Imagine: the wind in your face, feeling the freedom, and an incredible view. After a rest, you will begin your return journey via the Steinbergalm back to Inneralpbach.

  • Steinbergalm
