3-day mountain hut walk - stage 3

Experience nature in a picturesque setting, savour farmhouse delicacies and enjoy the wild water!

Behind the Pension Maier guesthouse, forest road 45 leads up a steep incline from the car park (pay & display) to the Walleralm, which is an Alpine hamlet at the foot of the Zettenkaiserkopf mountain. If you make the brief ascent to the Kreuzbichl summit, you will be rewarded with wonderful views. Alternatively, you can enjoy a refreshment stop at the Stöfflhütte mountain hut or at the Walleralm mountain inn.

At the Walleralm, turn on to the Jagersteig trail 823 (Wilder-Kaiser-Steig trail). Walking largely through the cool forest and across clearings, you will be able to look over the Hintersteiner See lake as you head southeast to the Steiner-Hochalm (1,257 m). You should then continue via the Steiner-Niederalm to the Hinterschiesslingalm (1,020 m). You can savour the peace and quiet at the foot of the Scheffauer, enjoy the fantastic view over the Kitzbühel Alps and the Hohe Salve mountain and tuck into specialities made by the Steiner family using Angus beef from their farm. You should then head through the wonderful Rehbachklamm gorge, which features bridges, waterfalls and a cave in an old mining tunnel, as you traverse the valley on the way back to Scheffau.
