Hiking routes and panoramic trails in St. Lambrecht
Die GrebenzenHöhen sind nicht das Ötztal – und das ist gut so! Hier geht’s nicht um höher, weiter, schneller. Sondern darum, experiencing the mountains with calm and enjoyment. The panoramic cable car takes you comfortably up to 1,654 m, and the rest is just as easy: hop off the lift, lace up your hiking boots, and off you go! The views of the Tauern and Karawanken are pure natural highlights.
Whether you’re strolling leisurely across alpine meadows or taking on the three Grebenzen summits – wandern auf den GrebenzenHöhen fühlt sich an wie ein a mini vacation. And since no one’s gasping for air up here, you can truly soak in the freedom and fresh mountain air.
