Hahnenkamm Circuit

The tour to the Hahnenkamm, starting at the tourist office in Kirchberg, requires good physical fitness, as the path becomes extremely steep several times. The 1,150 metres of altitude are really no joke. On the Brixental cycle path we can warm up our legs until we reach Kitzbühel. Passing the valley station of the Hahnenkamm gondola, the ascent begins quite steeply, but the path soon flattens out a little. In the shade of the trees, the gravel path leads us continuously uphill. Shortly after the "Einsiedelei" (mountain inn), the path shows its colours again and gets steeper once more. In the last section of the ascent we are exposed to the sun and can soon see the mountain station of the Hahnenkamm gondola. If you want, you are welcome to make a detour to the mountain station on the Hahnenkamm, but the path continues towards Pengelstein. Passing the Ehrenbachhöhe, we lose a few metres in altitude. From the Berggasthof Hochbrunn the route leads uphill again. Once at the top, we follow a flat path to the Pengelstein restaurant and the 3S cable car. Here we take the first descent towards the Usterkaralm. On the first few metres downhill, rough gravel awaits us and in places we have to push the bike. This is followed by a beautiful descent, past the Usterkaralm and the Hiesleggalm, down to the Schirast.  Finally, we return to Kirchberg on cycle path No. 204.
