Tour: Glacier view The panorama tour will provide you with not only a view of the glacier, but also of Chiemsee, Wendelstein and much more

The circular Gletscherblick tour is a day-long hike with a medium degree of difficulty. The trail starts and ends at Hemmer­sup­penalm. You will catch spec­tacular glimpses of the glaciers of the High Tauern mountains, Lake Chiemsee, the Wendelstein mountain and many other unbe­lievable land­scapes. During the roughly 14-kilometre, 5 ½ hour circular tour, you can enjoy a beverage and snack in the Hinden­burghütte, Sulzn­erkaser and the Straubinger Haus. You should wear sturdy footwear and hiking clothes.

You will follow the trail to the Pflegereck that will lead you through a magni­ficent mixed forest of mountain trees. From the Pflegereck, you will head towards the Durchkaser-Almen in the next climate zone, passing through a larch forest, a pine forest and high pastures. Starting at the Durchkaser-Almen on the way to Eggenalm, the trail will lead you to a viewing platform – to the south, you will see the glaciers of the High Tauern mountains (Gross­glockner/Gross­ve­nediger); to the north, you will view Lake Chiemsee/Wendelstein mountain, and, to the east, you will catch a glimpse of Bercht­es­gaden’s world of mountains and rock form­ations of the Steinernes Meer. After passing by the Eggenalm, you will turn to the east and return to the starting point.
