Current Conditions
Elevated on 11/04/24

The 8-seater gondola and the 4-seater “Quattralpina” chairlift will remain closed in summer 2024 due to construction work. Only the Schladminger Tauern cable car is in operation from Haus in Ennstal. Since the construction site stretches across the transmitter plateau, all hiking and cycling paths and play stations located there are also closed. The main hiking routes such as. the Schafsinn circular route, the summit circular route, the children's adventure trail and much more will therefore not be available as usual. The family offers such as downhill disc golf, petting zoo, children's adventure trail and various play stations on the mountain will not be available in summer 2024. The exception is the Schafsinn pond - there the unsupervised offers such as: Barefoot path, sheep via ferrata, sheep jumping, etc. - excluding water zorbing - are available. The Wollis Kids Park in the valley is open for children and families.

Hiking trails that are not accessible:

  • Schafsinn circular route
  • Children's adventure trail
  • Summit circular route

The tour
This medium-difficult hike to Hauser Kaibling is recommended for all summit stormers who want to enjoy a breathtaking 360° panoramic view of the Ennstal, the Dachstein Massif and the Schladminger Tauern. This hike is a particular hit during the Alpine rose blossom season. The view from the Kaibling summit and the lushly blooming alpine roses on the slopes of the Kaiblingalm in the second half of June are worth experiencing.
Turn-by-turn directions

Option 1
The great difference in altitude can be comfortably overcome with the Schladminger Tauern cable car or Hauser Kaibling 8-seater gondola lift & Quattralpina 4-seater chairlift. First we head towards the transmitter. From there, we take hiking trail no. 44 towards the Hauser Kaibling summit. The half-hour ascent to the summit of the Hauser Kaibling (2,015 m) offers great views and the summit panorama is magnificent. The descent to the Rossfeldsattel requires some attention due to the root path. From the Rossfeldsattel, the path leads to the Kaibling Alm. Tip: Take a short detour to the keep (approx. 15 minutes longer). From the Kaiblingalm, it's a short downhill walk to the beautifully landscaped reservoir. We walk around it and on a wide alpine path we return to the mountain station of the Schladminger Tauern cable car.


Option 2
From the mountain station of the cable car to the Hauser Kaibling summit and directly back to the mountain station (time required: approx. 50 min.)
