More information

Turn-by-turn directions

The great difference in altitude can be comfortably overcome with the Schladminger Tauern cable car or Hauser Kaibling cable car & chair lift Quattralpina. From the top station of the cable car, the path leads along the Schafsinn-Rundweg to the Rossfeldsattel. From there follow the signs. In approx. 45 min. you reach the Bärfallspitze and enjoy the wonderful panoramic view into the valley. The descent is via trail no. 780 to the Kaiblingalm. From there it is a comfortable forest path back to the top station.

Safety information

Safety on the mountainside: changes in the weather, sudden fall in temperature, thunder storms, wind, fog and snow fields are all objective dangers and require the correct behaviour whilst underway. the landlords of the huts are all very knowledgeable about the mountains and can give you good tips about the weather and the routes. Insufficient equipment, exaggerated opinion of ones capabilities, frivolousness, poor health condition and a false evaluation of the situation can lead to a critical situation. In thunder storms: summits, crest-sites and safety rope aids are to be avoided.

If something should happen call following emergency numbers: No. 140 - the number for all Alpine Emergencies in all of Austria No. 112 - European emergency call GSM emergency-call-service
