The hike to the Hochgrubbachspitze is a must for mountain enthusiasts. It takes you through diverse landscapes, including waterfalls, alpine pastures, and a serene mountain lake. The summit rewards you with unforgettable views of the surrounding peaks.
Further information and useful links

Start at the parking lot in the Winnebachtal and follow Trail No. 23, which ascends gently to the Astnerbergalm. From there, the path becomes steeper. At the height of the waterfall, a flatter section offers a brief respite before a moderate ascent leads you to the Tiefrastenhütte and the picturesque Tiefrastensee.

From the hut, continue on Trail No. 24 towards the Hochsägescharte. Turn left here and follow Trail No. 24, which includes some light scrambling, up to the Hochgrubbachspitze (2,811 m). At the summit, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains!

The descent follows the same route as the ascent back to the starting point.
