Challenging climb to the Fageralm with beautiful views of the Dachstein.

This challenging tour starts in Radstadt and leads via Forstau up into the Fageralm hiking area. The steady climb requires good fitness, but rewards you with fantastic views of the Dachstein and the Salzburg Limestone Alps.

Along the way, the Innviertler Berggasthof and the Lechneralm invite you to stop for a break. At the top, the Trinkeralm awaits with impressive panoramic views and homemade curd cheese strudel as a highlight.

The tour originally comes from our colleagues in SalzburgerLand – further information can be found at the following link: Fageralm Tour (SW 15).
