Imbachhorn circular tour in Kaprun Hiking tours
Tour description
Scenic circular route to the 2,470-metre-high Imbachhorn!
The varied Brandlschartenweg trail leads from the Gletscherbahn car park (trail no. 724) through shady high forests and mixed forests up to the Harleitenalm and on across flower-filled alpine meadows to the Brandlscharte. From here, the trail turns left to the summit of the Imbachhorn – accompanied at all times by impressive views of Lake Zell. The return route to Kaprun is via the Imbachsteig trail (No. 723). Alternatively, you can also descend to the Gleiwitzer Hütte.
