31 | Alpenhaus Kesselfall - Mooserboden trail Hiking tours
Tour description
Challenging mountain hike from Kesselfall to the high mountain reservoirs of Kaprun – rewarded with spectacular Alpine scenery!
This challenging hike leads from Kesselfall up to the high mountain reservoirs of Kaprun, climbing almost 1,000 metres in altitude. The trail initially runs through shady forest, then continues along the old mountain road to high alpine terrain. Sure-footedness and a head for heights are essential. Passing the Limberg dam, along the Limberg reservoir and via the Fürthermoaralm, you finally reach the Mooserboden. Two places to stop for refreshments provide sustenance along the way. The return journey to the valley is easy by bus and Europe's largest open inclined lift.

Route description:
From Kesselfall Alpenhaus, cross the bridge and follow the road for about 50 metres before turning left onto trail no. 31.
After a short ascent, this beautiful forest trail leads to the old mountain road. From there, the route runs to the valley station of the Lärchwand inclined lift.
From now on, surefootedness and a head for heights are required as one section of the trail is slightly exposed in places. Alternatively: continue by bus.
Hikers follow the road here until a trail branches off to the left just before the first tunnel, which leads to the crown of the Limberg Dam.
After approx. 100 metres of road, a trail leads along the west side of the Limberg reservoir to the Fürthermoaralm.
From the Alm, the trail becomes an educational "herb trail", ending at Mooserboden.
