Route description:
Ascent with the Schmittenhöhenbahn - walking time reduction of 4h.

Here there would also be a great possibility for a rest at the Berghotel Schmitten (descent possible with the Schmittenhöhenbahn).  There after the walk goes down to Kettingalm (path no. 719 - Pinzgauer Spaziergang). At the Kettingalm you cross a meadow and get to the info sign "Pfaffenkendelsteig" (No. 69; overnight-stays possible in the Pinzgauer Hütte). At the end of the 1,5 km long hike you will reach the Schmittenhöhenweg (No. 50) and respectively the Areitweg (No. 56A, 51) which you follow back to the valley.
