    Summer experiences

    Summit enjoyment, scenic views and action take center stage on the Hochwurzen panoramic mountain.

    The 10-seater Hochwurzen summit lift takes you comfortably to the top, where many options await you:

    • There are several summit conquests to experience from the Hochwurzen - from short hikes to a day tour with 5 summits, everything is included.
    • Take a leisurely walk along the Bankerlweg trail with 25 original benches to rest and enjoy the view.
    • The mountain go-karts will whisk you down into the valley on the 7 km long toboggan run.
    • Regional delicacies await you at our huts.
