Description

Starting from the Arthurhaus climb to the Hochkönig summit 2940 meters. From the Hochkönig summit go down to the Hinterthal and then back to the Arthurhaus via the lower trails located on the slopes of Hochkönig. The climb to the summit is relatively easy and becomes slightly technical 3 km before the summit. The way down from the summit to the Hinterthal is very technical with many places requiring scrambling and via ferratas. The section from Hinterthal back to Arthurhaus is not technical, but requires some endurance especially after the climb to the summit.
