Route description
- The Hahnenkammbahn takes you from the centre of Kitzbühel to Hochkitzbühel in eight minutes. The cabins bear the names of the winners of the famous Streif downhill.
- Past the Hahnenkamm Stüberl you reach the Ehrenbachhöhe and then climb along the western slope of the Steinbergkogel. Behind you the view opens up to the Wilder Kaiser.
- A wide gravel track continues onto the Jufen ridge. By the Brunn reservoir you have most of the way behind you, and a last stretch with no real climbing brings you to the Pengelstein restaurant.
- The peaks of the main ridge are reflected in the nearby Pengelsteinsee and Hiesleggsee lakes. Return to the Hahnenkamm the same way.
