Hiking to Krimpenbachsattel and Hundstalsee (2287 m)


Details
If you’re up for another high mountain adventure, join us this Sunday (14.09) for a beautiful hike above Oberperfuss, just 35 minutes from Innsbruck.
We’ll start at Stiglreith (first station of the Rangger-Köpfl Lift) and hike via Rosskogelhütte and Krimpenbachsattel to the Apollontempel at Hundstalsee (2287 m). The German description for this route is “Herrliche, einsame Wanderung zu einem besonderen Ort” – a wonderful and secluded hike to a very special place.
🏔️ Hike Overview
- Difficulty: Medium, ~15 km, about 4 h uphill
- Terrain: Mostly moderate, with some steep/rocky sections in the upper part of the trail → surefootedness advisable
- Flexibility: Hike can be shortened at several points for those who don’t want to do the full route. Descent can also be shortened by taking the cable car from the mid station.
🌦 Weather
The forecast looks favorable for Sunday (although, light rain still possible in the morning). Please pack for sun, wind, and rain.
If the weather situation worsens, the route may be adapted or the hike cancelled.
