Hiking and cable car hiking
Hiking routes and panoramic trails in St. Lambrecht
The GrebenzenHöhen are not the Ötztal – and that’s a good thing! Here, it’s not about higher, faster, further. It’s about 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 – hiking on the GrebenzenHöhen feels like a mini vacation. And since no one’s gasping for air up here, you can truly soak in the freedom and fresh mountain air.
