High Salve-Itter

  • Starting point: Hexenwasser gondola lift & Salvenbahn Hopfgarten gondola lift
  • Destination: Salvistabahn Itter

Directions

I can easily reach the summit of the Hohe Salve with the Hexenwasser Söll gondola lift or the Salvenbahn gondola lift. Once at the top, I can enjoy the magnificent views. I can spend a few quiet moments in Austria's highest pilgrimage church before starting my hike. A winding hiking trail leads me down towards the Rigi, where another small climb awaits me, taking me up to the Kleine Salve. Once I reach the top, I am treated to completely new views. I can take some funny pictures by the giant sticks and let my gaze wander over the lake.
