Current Conditions
Elevated on 11/04/24

The 8-seater gondola and the 4-seater “Quattralpina” chairlift will remain closed in summer 2024 due to construction work. Only the Schladminger Tauern cable car is in operation from Haus in Ennstal. Since the construction site stretches across the transmitter plateau, all hiking and cycling paths and play stations located there are also closed. The main hiking routes such as. the Schafsinn circular route, the summit circular route, the children's adventure trail and much more will therefore not be available as usual. The family offers such as downhill disc golf, petting zoo, children's adventure trail and various play stations on the mountain will not be available in summer 2024. The exception is the Schafsinn pond - there the unsupervised offers such as: Barefoot path, sheep via ferrata, sheep jumping, etc. - excluding water zorbing - are available. The Wollis Kids Park in the valley is open for children and families.

Hiking trails that are not accessible:

  • Schafsinn circular route

The tour
This medium-difficult hike to Hauser Kaibling is recommended for all summit stormers who want to enjoy a breathtaking 360° panoramic view of the Ennstal, the Dachstein Massif and the Schladminger Tauern. This hike is a particular hit during the Alpine rose blossom season. The view from the Kaibling summit and the lushly blooming alpine roses on the slopes of the Kaiblingalm in the second half of June are worth experiencing.
Turn-by-turn directions

The great difference in altitude can be comfortably overcome with the Schladminger Tauern cable car or Hauser Kaibling cable car & chair lift Quattralpina. The half-hour ascent to the summit of Hauser Kaibling (2,015 m) is full of views, the summit panorama is magnificent. The descent to the Rossfeldsattel requires some attention due to the Wurzelsteig. From the Rossfeldsattel the path leads to the Kaibling Alm. Tip: Make a short detour to the keep (approx. 15 min. more time required). From the Kaiblingalm it is a bit downhill to the beautifully landscaped storage pond. Walk around the pond and on a wide path back to the top station of the cable car.

Option 2: top station - Hauser Kaibling summit - top stationTime required: approx. 50 min.
