The last part to the alp is asphalted, but at the same time also the steepest section with 11% incline. At the top, a rustic inn with a barrier-free toilet awaits you.
The hike to Hochsteinalm is only recommended for experienced wheelchair users plus 2 helpers, E-drive or Swiss Track. There is a quaint inn with a barrier-free WC.

Highlights:
You can feed various animals (alpacas, goats, sheep).

The route is convenient for families (suitable for pushchairs) and offers some wonderful views of Lake "Traunsee" to Traunstein. Who does not like to walk on forest roads branched off from the car park of a popular hiking trail that leads uphill a little steeper and ends in the last part of the forest road.

The Hochsteinalm is on a hill in a valley. The large garden with stunning views of the mountains "Höllengebirge" and the Brunnkogel invites you to stop. Specialties from the highlands and a hearty beef and lamb roast and homemade Pofesen are on our menu.
For younger guests there is a playground in sight of the garden and lots of pets.
