Oberhüttenlake Tour | SW 12
Tour description
This varied tour leads through idyllic alpine landscapes up into high alpine terrain. While the first part is still quite relaxed, the final climb to the Oberhütte becomes noticeably more challenging.
At the top, the Oberhüttensee awaits – a true natural gem – along with a cozy place to stop for a break, perfect for recharging before the descent.
The tour originally comes from our colleagues in SalzburgerLand – further information can be found at the following link: Variant Oberhütte (SW 12).
The tour
Map, elevation profile & further information
Start in the center of Forstau and head south towards Forstau-Winkl. First ride about 4 km on asphalt, then switch to a gravel road and follow it steadily uphill for around 7 km to the Fallhausalm or Vögeialm.
From the alpine huts, the steep and challenging final climb begins on the mountain road to the Oberhütte and further up to the Oberhüttensee (1,860 m).
Return along the same route back to Forstau – take care on the steeper sections during the descent.
