Hike to the Almkogel on the Tauplitzalm

Extensive hike over the Tauplitzalm, past the Steirersee and Schwarzensee.
This hike convinces with a natural diversity: mountain lakes on the sunny plateau of the Tauplitzalm, softly swinging alpine pastures, rushing torrents, colorful forests, deep gorges, rustic huts for refreshments and several walking options - all together: very impressive!

More information

Detailed information how to get to the Ausseerland – Salzkammergut you will find on our website!

Outside operation hours of the lift you can take the panorama road Tauplitzalm Alpenstraße in order to reach the parking on the Tauplitzalm, where you can start the tour then.

Start from the mountain station of the 4-seater chairlift or from the parking lot on the Tauplitzalm in an easterly direction to the Steirersee.

A detour to the Steirerseebankerl with a great view of the legendary Sturzhahn, which was first climbed by mountaineering icon Heinrich Harrer, is recommended.

Afterwards you come along the Steirersee to the Schwarzensee. Behind the Schwarzensee, the high-altitude hike now begins via the Leistalm and a low mountain peak to the plateau behind it. (surefootedness required!)

Now you walk over the Kampboden to the turnoff on the Almkogel. The path now becomes steeper - it takes about 1.5 hours to reach the 2,116 m high summit, which is reached via the southern slope. Behind the summit cross it goes down properly and the view is very impressive!

Back to the starting point is via the same route.

Those who wish can also continue the tour to the Gnanitzalm.

The tour is basically easy, but due to the length of about 8 hours it can be exhausting. Take good care of your strength!
