Buchsteinhaus

Enjoy the perfect blend of outstanding cuisine, cool architecture and a cozy alpine atmosphere. Depending on your fitness level, choose path number 641 from Gstatterboden or St. Gallen - the latter is a lot more challenging and lengthier. If you opt for the route from Admont, expect to tackle winding serpentines over the final hour of the ascent.

Once you reach the top, you will forget about the strenuous hike as there is just too much to see and enjoy. Lean back and relax in the sun, or treat yourself to a refreshment. If you are ready for another tour after your break there are multiple climbing routes on the south face that cater to various difficulty levels. As the day winds down, the alpenglow steals the show. The sight of the Hochtor mountain range is incredible, especially at sunset - a stunning spectacle (almost a bit too beautiful, but hey... ).
