Explore two Alpine landscapes during this mountain hiking tour from Bavaria to Salzburg. The Eurohike team takes you on an eight-day tour along the beautiful pathways in the Bavarian and Salzburg Alps. A feeling of absolute calm as you gaze upon the impressive rock formations is included. Fixed point on each route: the detour into one of the many alpine huts, where a cool beer or sparkling ‘Kracherl’ will be waiting for you!
The mountain hiking tour kicks off with a highlight: after your arrival at the Königssee, day two will see a trip to the Berchtesgaden National Park on the programme. For 19 kilometres you will hike through the reserve, past the border into Salzburg. All around you’ll hear the rushing waterfalls of the Seisenbergklamm. And over the next few days one highlight will follow the last. For example: the Pinzgauer Grasberge, a high-altitude hike to the famous Arthurhaus or a visit to Hohenwerfen Castle (not included in the price) and much more.
Königssee & Berchtesgaden National Park: Steeply rising rock walls and a nature reserve straight out of a picture book fill the eyes. If you look closely, you might catch a glimpse of a chamois or a shy marmot.
Alpine huts with homemade delicacies: A landscape with scenery as romantic as the famous Austrian ‘Heimatfilms’. Sitting right in the middle of it are numerous huts. Take a break and enjoy the hearty creations of the landlords.
Torrener Joch & Jenner: Expect a long climb to the border crossing and on to the Jenner summit. And at Bluntautal, you will be rewarded with unique alpine landscape and rugged rock formations.
Your mountain hiking trip to the alpine landscapes of Bavaria and Salzburg begins with your own journey to Schönau on the emerald-green lake Königssee. Over the next seven days you will travel on well-developed hiking trails. However, the steep hikes require good basic fitness! Do you like a climb and enjoy a view looking out over the distant mountains? Then you will be enchanted by this high altitude tour! When you spend the night at the foot of the Hochkönig you will feel like you’re in paradise!

At Königssee, magnificent views of the church of St. Bartholomä and the Watzmann await you. Marvel at the waterfalls of the Seisenbergklamm and the view of the Hochkönig, before the Jenner summit awaits you at the end.
Transfer to the starting point. The trail starts in the magic forest over to idyllic lake Hintersee. Comfortable walk into the heart of the National park, steep rock walls towering to the left and to the right. Cross the border to Salzburg and follow the trail along the roaring waterfalls of Seisenbergklamm to your destination Weißbach.
Short transfer to Maria Alm. From there the climb to the Pinzgauer grass mountains start. An unsurpassed walk always following a chain of undulating summits across alpine pastures. The view to nearby Hohe Tauern belongs to the highlights of this Austrian walking trail.
Today one of the most beautiful walking tours on alpine pastures waits for you. Below the steep needle-like towers ‘Mandlwalls’ you walk along the foot of the Hochkönig massif over to Arthurhouse. Chamois, cattle, horses and countless cabins as well as impressive scenery, you will think you are in the middle of a film set. Overnight if possible in Arthurhouse close to Mandlwalls.
The morning sees you walking up to alpine pasture of the “Hochkönig-Region”. The imposing massif once more opens up to allow stunning views. Walk on the ancient miner’s trail down into the valley of river Salzach and continue to Werfen. There the mighty forest Hohenwerfen is well worth a visit.
One more highlight is in store for you at the very end of this walking week: a long ascent to border crossing Torrener Joch and then to the summit ‘Jenner’ in Berchtesgaden. Transfer into the Bluntautal valley which is closed off by steep rock walls. Climb through the forest and scattered alpine pastures. Once you reach the summit of Jenner you can enjoy the view of the whole walking week as well as lake Königssee. Down into the valley by cable car.
Beautiful and good walking paths, just a few longer climbs require good basic fitness level and partly surefootedness. If you love alpine pastures, brilliant views and a being high up you will enjoy this tour. The mountain trails with fantastic views of the mountain world and the overnight stays at the foot of Hochkönig mountain will fascinate you.
