Directions:

Climbing the highest peak in the Karwendel Mountains is a challenge that is best accomplished as a scenic bike & hike tour. Surefootedness, head for heights and experience in high alpine terrain as well as short climbing passages are absolutely necessary!

The tour starts directly at the Karwendel parking lot (P2 Länd) at the Scharnitz Nature Park Information Center. Here you saddle up your (e-)bike, cycle eastwards on the Hinterautalstraße, orient yourself to the left after the Isar bridge on the impressive Bike Trail Tirol and follow the yellow signs through the picturesque Karwendel valley to the historic Karwendelhaus at 1,765 meters above sea level.

Since 1908, the refuge has offered a popular base station for Karwendel crossings, summit tours and climbing excursions. During the warm summer months, you can also spend the night at the historic hut - but you are definitely asked to make a reservation in good time. If you reach the Karwendelhaus and bring a suitable
