Tour description

TOP tour for fit and well-trained mountain bikers: Enjoy magnificent views of the mountains on this challenging route from Niedernsill to Hacklbergalm.  

With a challenging 1,300 meters of altitude gain, the Klingler Törl - Hacklbergalm tour winds through the picturesque sunny side of the Kitzbühel Alps, also know as the Pinzgauer Grass Mountains, up to the Hacklbergalm in Hinterglemm. The Klingler Törl at 2,059 meters offers a breathtaking 360° panoramic view from the Hohe Tauern across the Salzach valley to the Wilder Kaiser and the Steinernes Meer. The route meanders through cultivated alpine areas where you may encounter grazing animals and passes by the idyllic Hacklberg lakes. A particular challenge lies in the section from the junction just before the Hochsonnberg Hut (not managed) to the Hacklbergalm.

Route description:
Start in the village center and cycle north towards the roundabout, then continue uphill along Steindorfer Straße, Gaisbichl, until Hochprack. At the first fork after the barrier, take a left and ride along the forest road until just before the Hochsonnberg hut (not managed). From here, the challenging trail passage to Klingler Törl begins. Descent from there to the Hacklberger Lakes - less experienced mountain bikers should consider walking their bikes - and continue to the destination at Hacklbergalm. 

For the return journey, there are several options available: 

  • return via the same route
  • Follow the forest road to Hinterglemm. 
  • Take one of the trails to Hinterglemm: SH 35 Hacklberg Trail (flowy, natural, medium difficulty, starts at the hut) | SH 90 Huberalm Trail (rocky and root passages, medium difficulty, not regularly maintained, at your own risk, starts about 100 m below the hut). 

From Hinterglemm, follow the Glemmtal and Tauern Cycle Path back to Niedernsill. 

Tips

Enjoy the panoramic view at the Klingler Törl at around 2,000 meters to recharge your energy and treat yourself to local delicacies at the Hacklbergalm.
