- 4.4 (31)·Hard·10.3 mi·Est. 7–7.5 hrPopular hike from Marquartstein in the Bavarian Chiemgau. A beautiful route with great views from one of the most panoramic peaks in the Chiemgau Alps. The route follows a forest road to the Hochgernhaus and then continues on a narrow path. In spring it can be slippery when snowfields and thaw are encountered and just before the summit there is a short but steep grassy slope to overcome. An unrivalled view of Lake Chiemsee and the foothills of the Alps awaits from the summit. And along the...

- 4.6 (15)·Hard·6.2 mi·Est. 4–4.5 hrPanoramic loop in the Chiemgau Alps near Marquartstein.

Beautiful views, farmed alpine pastures, forests, and clear mountain streams characterize the tour. The ascent towards Großstaffen past the Staffnalm requires a certain level of fitness. Suitable hiking boots are recommended. Highlights: - Refreshment stops at...
- 4.5 (10)·Hard·9.2 mi·Est. 6.5–7.5 hrPanoramic mountain hike in the Chiemgau Alps from Niedernfels. The demanding hiking route leads from the Hochplattenbahn valley station first over the mountain station to the summit of the Friedenrath. Then it finally goes to the Hochplatte and over the Hochplattenalm back to the mountain station. From here you can either take the mountain railway back into the valley or, as shown on this tour, hike down.
- 4.2 (8)·Hard·4 mi·Est. 2.5–3 hrPanoramic hike in Chiemgau, Bavaria. This hike begins at the Hochgern parking lot, east of the Tiroler Ache. From there it goes uphill through beautiful countryside to the Agersgschwendalm. This is a great place to stop for refreshments between May and October. The way back from the alp, which has been family-owned for over 700 years, is via the familiar hiking trail. Highlights of the hike: - Agersgschwend-Alm - Idyllic forest paths - Detour to Marquartstein Castle (optional)
- 4.9 (7)·Hard·6.1 mi·Est. 5.5–6 hrSummit tour with great views in the Ammergau Alps. The ascent takes place from Niedernfels on one of the standard routes to the Hochplatte. Arriving at the summit, a fantastic Alpine panorama awaits you. The descent is then overcome on a hardly frequented path over the Hausleitensteig. Sure-footedness and sturdy shoes are required. In addition, enough provisions should be packed, as there are no rest stops on the hike. Highlights: - Great mountain panorama - Natural paths
- 4.2 (4)·Hard·8.5 mi·Est. 5.5–6 hrThis is a stage with a thoroughly alpine character. At the start, it goes uphill through mixed mountain woodland – alternatively, treat yourself to a trip up with the Hochplatte lift – whereupon the track soon becomes more rocky and somewhat exposed. Via Alpina moves along below the Hochalpkopf and the rocky Raffen, before the little Steinlingalm pasture invites you to have a rest.
