Hahnenkamm Circuit

The tour up the Hahnenkamm, starting at the tourist office in Kirchberg, requires a good level of fitness, as the path becomes extremely steep a few times. We can warm up our legs well on the Brixental Valley cycle path as far as Kitzbühel. Passing the valley station of the Hahnenkamm cable car, the ascent begins quite steeply, but the path soon flattens out a little. In the shade of the trees, the gravel path leads us steadily uphill. Shortly after the ‘Einsiedelei’, the path shows us its teeth again and it gets steeper once more. In the last section of the ascent, we are then at the mercy of the sun and can soon see the mountain station of the Hahnenkamm cable car. If you want, you can take a detour to the mountain station on the Hahnenkamm, but the route continues towards Pengelstein. Passing the Ehrenbachhöhe, we lose a few metres in altitude. From the Hochbrunn mountain inn, the route climbs again. Once at the top, a flat path takes us to the Pengelstein restaurant and the 3S cable car. Here we take the first descent towards the Usterkaralm. A beautiful descent, past the Usterkaralm and the Hiesleggalm, down to the Schirast. We finally return to Kirchberg on cycle path no. 204.
