Ridge hike in Saalbach Hinterglemm: A limitless panoramic experience in Austria

The mountains are calling! And what could be better than hiking on the heights of the Alps and enjoying breathtaking views? Saalbach Hinterglemm, known for its impressive mountain landscape, offers exactly that.

A start full of anticipation

The journey begins in the center of Saalbach, where you make your way to the valley station of the Kohlmaisbahn. Although the region is also a paradise for mountain bikers, the focus of this trip is hiking. The first few meters in altitude are easily overcome with the cable car, which takes you to the Kohlmaiskopf.

A panorama that enchants

Once you reach the top, an impressive panorama opens up. The rugged mountain walls of the Loferer and Leoganger Steinberge as well as the Berchtesgaden Alps offer a picture that you won't quickly forget. But the actual destination, the Spielberghorn, is still ahead of you. A narrow path leads through the forest and after just a few minutes you are surrounded by the silence of nature. The chirping of birds and the humming of bees are the only sounds that break the silence.

The challenge begins

After an idyllic passage, the path becomes steeper. Wildflowers line the path and a herd of cows grazes peacefully in an alpine meadow. But before we go to the Spielberghorn, we take a detour to the Kleberkopf. Here hikers can expect a sensational view and an impressive summit cross.

The path to the goal

The climb to the Spielberghorn is demanding. Serpentines lead steeply upwards, and sometimes you even need your hands to make progress. But the effort is worth it. Once at the top, there is a 360-degree panorama that is second to none. From here you can see the Kitzbüheler Horn, the Wilder Kaiser and many other well-known peaks.

A well-deserved degree

After so much effort, you deserve a break. A refreshing iced coffee offers the perfect refreshment. But the adventure is not over yet. At the end of the valley in Saalbach Hinterglemm, the Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps and the Baumzipfelweg await. Another highlight is the Jump & Slide Park, where you slide down a ramp with a tire and are gently caught by an air cushion.

The ridge hike in Saalbach Hinterglemm is an experience that you won't quickly forget. The combination of impressive panoramas, idyllic paths and exciting activities makes this tour an unforgettable adventure.
