Details for: Hochkar valley station - Hochkar summit

Brief description

Short and technically easy to run route to the highest peak of the trailrunning area.

Description

From the parking lot, walk on rolling terrain west towards the Draxlerloch piste. Cross this and shortly after reach the Scheinecksattel. From here the trail gets noticeably steeper. Upon reaching the ridge path, turn right. The trail flattens and a final ascent leads to the summit. An impressive panorama awaits as a reward. For the descent, follow the ascent route.
