To save time, it is recommended to take the bike up to crossing Kristenalm/Möslalm and then continue on foot to the Kristenalm.
From the Scharnitz Nature Park Info Center follow the forest road into the Gleirschtal and after a few kilometers leave your bike at the junction into the Kristental. From here, continue on to the Kristenalm on foot (bikes are not allowed). Return to the starting point along the same path.

Details for one direction:

  • Bike route nr. 579: approx. 10 km, 260 hm uphill, 01:15 h, difficulty: medium
  • Hike route: approx. 2,5 km, 160 hm uphill, 01:00 h, difficulty: easy
