Mallnitz - Hochalmblick

Access to starting point:
From Spittal we drive towards Lienz, but only to the settlement Möllbrücke. In the mentioned settlement we notice signs for Mallnitz and the alpine road to Großglockner. We follow this road to the settlement Obervellach, where signs for Mallnitz point us to the right. Behind the village, the road starts to ascend more steeply and after a few kilometers of ascent brings us to the alpine town Mallnitz. Further we drive a few kilometers to the lower cableway station on Ankogel (Ankogelbahn), where we park on a large parking lot.

Route description:
At the end of the parking lot, we will notice signposts on the left side of the road, which direct us left onto the ski slope. The path then ascends quite steeply along the ski slope and occasionally also runs through the forest or along the mountain road. If somewhere on the path we stray from the marked path, we can also follow the mountain road or ski slope. After a good hour of walking from the starting point, we arrive at the intermediate cableway station, where there is also the mountain hut Hochalmblick.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Hannoverhaus (2 h 15 min), Kleine Ankogel (4 h 45 min), Ankogel (5 h 15 min)

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama
