The "Sellraintaler Höhenweg" high altitude trail

If you decide to hike this trail, you will be rewarded with stunning scenery and magnificent views of the Sellrain Valley, its side valleys and the Inn Valley. The path, about 15 km/9.3 miles long, leads through the alpine pastures and meadows of the "Haggener and Peider Sonnenberg" mountains. It continues through the flanks of several mountains ("Koflerspitzen" and "Weißenstein") until reaching the slopes of "Rosskogel", where the trail starts its descent to Oberperfuss.

Serviced mountain lodges on the trail:

• Chalet "Sonnbergalm" (after about one third of the way)
• Mountain lodge "Rosskogelhütte" (at the end of the trail; from here, the path descents to Stieglreith or Oberperfuss)
• Restaurant Sulzstich or Panoramarestaurant Stiglreith

For experienced hikers, the hike will take between six and seven hours. However,
you do not have to master the entire distance in one go.

NEW: It is possible to descent, via St. Quirin, to Sellrain.

The hike can be done in reverse direction as well, from Oberperfuss to St. Sigmund.
