Best trails near Steilnerjoch

A challenging hike that is worth every step. Marvellous views and wonderful idyllic hiking trails. From Rosengasse, the route leads to Rosengassenalm, along the Jägerwand to the saddle between Kleinem and Grossen Traithen. On the way back you walk along the Unterberger Joch, Steintraithen / Steilner Joch and past the dilapidated Fellalm.

From the car park at Gasthaus Rosengasse (1100m) head south along the path to the Brünnstein, at the Rosengassen Alm continue in a SSW direction over the Schneise. At 1520m turn right heading SW to the Äserer (1555m). From there follow the steep mountain pine ridge in a southerly direction up to the Steilnerjoch (1747m)...

Challenging mountain hike from Ursprungstal. This route is a "black mountain trail" (difficult) and requires alpine experience. The final ascent to the summit is not a hike; it is a short, exposed scramble (grade I), secured with steel ropes. Absolute surefootedness and a head for heights are essential for this final section. The route up to the summit is a strenuous but beautiful mountain path that leads past the Fellalm and offers fantastic panoramic views from the summit.

This easy but quite long stage leads from the well-trodden paths of the Wendelsteinberge into the heart of the Schliersee mountains. Initially leisurely over the alpine pastures of the Himmelmoosalm, then the ascent to the Traithen follows. Then it goes down into the Ursprungtal and on the other side uphill again to the Rotwandhaus.
