Tour description

Along this path dogs are partially prohibited on the pasture sections.

From the heart of Kaprun to the imposing Imbachhorn and on to the rustic Gleiwitzer Hut – an alpine dream tour with unforgettable views!

This impressive mountain tour starts right in the centre of Kaprun and leads along the Lechnerbergweg trail, following the Imbach stream uphill to the unmanaged Neumayeralm. The route continues across flowering alpine pastures to the Piffschafte (1,785 m) and past the Türchelkopf to the Roßkopfscharte. There, the trail either branches off to the 2,470 m high Imbachhorn or continues on to the Gleiwitzer Hütte. This offers ideal accommodation for multi-day tours.
