Not for beginners

I have been eyeing this place since I saw it on a ski trip.. it will take us to the heart of the stunning Wilder Kaiser gebirge. Route inspired by Outdoor active trail here which I selected to make it a hike and avoid the klettersteig route. Weather forecast looks cracking for Saturday.

If you want to read further description of the route it is here on outdoor active and in the YouTube clip below:

This will not be a fast hike ;-) I have deliberately chosen a shorter but steep route to see Ellmauer Tor, which is the Sattle, not the Halt (spitze). You need to be sure footed, comfortable with steep terrain and with taking some cables.

Optional: on the way back, it would be great if we could take a short detour and swim in HinterSteinersee which is very beautiful and only a 10 minute detour from the drive home.

Hiking can be dangerous. I am not a mountain guide, and everybody joining this hike does so at their own risk.
