Round the Aineck (111/C/B/A)

Aineckbahn mountain station (2202 m)

Talstation Aineckbahn

Option 1: start at Aineckbahn valley station, where you can take the funicular up the mountain (check opening times), or you can go up on foot on trail no. 111. This trail is steep in some places and leads to Adlerhorst (duration is 2 hours longer if you don’t take the funicular). Once you’ve arrived at the Aineck by foot or by funicular, walk on the other side of the mountain, taking path C down to Branntweiner Hütte and/or Köβlbacher Alm (both managed). Then take path B to the St. Martin / St. Michael / Katschberghöhe junction. On the forest path, go left towards Katschberg on path A, which leads slightly uphill and downhill back to Katschberghöhe.

Option 2: take the Aineckbahn funicular up the Aineck and continue on foot on path 111 to the starting point – Aineckbahn funicular valley station. Duration approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
