Check the timetable for line 976 and whether the card is valid on it. The card covers only selected lines.

Alpine roses

In early summer alpine roses bloom around the Moaralmsee. Red against turquoise water is the finest sight of the hike.

Experienced hikers only: Höchstein

From the Hauser Kaibling there is also a loop over the Höchstein (2,543 m) with protected sections and scrambling. It is only for the experienced and only in dry weather.

Why “hard”
