Getting to the hike

We would be taking BRB RE5 (Salzburg Hbf) from any of these meeting points:

• For folks getting on from Hauptbahnof: Platform 13 at 5:45. 
• For folks getting on from Ostbahnof: Platform 8 at 5:50.

Please be on time as we would only have 10 minutes before the train leaves. We would make a change at Rosenheim from Platform 4 to 7 and take BRB RB54 (Kufstein) @ 6:37 AM. We should reach Kufstein around 7:15 AM.

Getting back from the hike

The hike is supposed to be 10 hours long and we have ~15 hours before the last train. In an ideal world, we should be able to complete our hike by 5:30 PM. There are trains at 6:01 PM, 7:02 PM, 7:59 PM, 8:59 PM, 9:59 PM and 10:59 PM. We can make any one of them.

Optional: We can swim in the river in the kufstein at the end of the hike.

Weather

Food and Water

According to the route, we have multiple huts on our way. We would stop at Vorderkaiserfeldenhütte (gain of 900m from the starting point) to refuel. I suggest you still bring some food and appropriate amount of water (minimum 2L). Since, we are going down along the same route, we will stop at this hut again for few beers.

Checklist:

1. Hiking shoes.

2. Passport as we are crossing border.

3. Food and water (minimum 2L).

4. Proper clothes for hiking (ex: rain jacket).
