Route description:
The 3K K-onnection tour (no KA6) starts relaxed with an uphill ride on the MK Maiskogel cable car. The 10.4 kilometre route leads from the upper terminus past the Maiskogel Alm Ranch to the Astenweg. This well-maintained forest path leads downhill to the Ederalm at 1,420 metres, slightly below the upper terminus. The gentle ascent starts here: the trail meanders in long hairpin bends through the alpine area to the Salzburger Hütte, and then crosses a plateau. The tour continues steadily uphill to the Langwied at an altitude of almost 2,000 metres. The tour can be completed here after 700 metres of altitude, and can be finished with a gondola ride on the 3K K-onnection cable car towards the Maiskogel or the valley. If you still have strength in your calves here, you can extend the tour to the Gletscherjet 3/4 middle station. Alternatively, the 3K K-onnection tour can also be enjoyed in the opposite direction from the Langwied to the MK Maiskogel upper terminus, in which case you only have to master 400 altitude metres.
