SH 40 Hochalm - Trail - Route

Heading towards the valley end, this route starts off leisurely before, after just under 1 km, crossing to the other side of the Saalach river where the first elevation gains await. The key here is to pace your strength properly, as the next nearly 900 m of elevation are challenging. Following a consistent incline, you stay on the forest road passing the Pfefferalm, Wieseralm, and Roßwaldhütte, which invite you to recharge at good intervals. Once you pass the Hochalm mountain station, located just a few meters below the Reichkendlkopf (1941 m), the uphill part is almost done and rewarded by a wide view over the Glemmtal valley. The now flowing Hochalm trail starting from the Spieleck mountain station offers a bath of emotions and lets you forget the previous exertion. The last downhill section follows the forest path towards the valley end, then runs parallel with the Forsthofalm-Runde route (SH06) on the Glemmtal cycle path back to the starting point Hinterglemm.
