The hike to the Breitenstein requires a good level of fitness in view of the altitude difference. Technically, the tour is straightforward. You are always on wide hiking trails. Only in the summit area is some surefootedness required. Thanks to the numerous rest stops, the tour is also suitable for families with children who are enthusiastic about the mountains. In winter, the Breitenstein is a popular destination for ski tourers and snowshoe hikers. With snow under your feet, the hike naturally requires more stamina. As with any winter hike, you should also pay attention to the current avalanche report.
