Lake circuit around the Hohe Salve

The lake hike around the Hohe Salve is a true experience for the whole family. Passing three lakes, you hike a complete circuit along well-maintained paths. Exciting highlights such as gondola rides, three refreshing reservoirs, Tyrol's most beautiful view included. So nothing like up and purely in the adventure mountain. The beautiful waypoints invite you to relax, discover and play. So the hike around the Hohe Salve will certainly not be boring.

The tour starts at the middle station of the Salvenbahn Hopfgarten. From there, a well-maintained alpine road leads uphill to the Hohe Salve reservoir. After about 50 minutes you reach the first highlight of the tour, where benches and loungers invite you to take a rest. Continue along the alpine road to the Salvensee, another pond on the Hohe Salve, with breathtaking views of the Kitzbühel Alps and the Hohe Tauern in the south. From there, follow the signs towards the Rigi, without any major ascents. After about half an hour you reach the Alpengasthof Rigi, a refreshment stop with an impressive view. After refreshments, continue the tour, first downhill to the Kälbersalvenalm and then up to the summit of the Kleine Salve. There you will find the third and last mountain lake of the tour, the Kleine Salve reservoir. Here you can enjoy the magnificent panoramic view from the benches and loungers before heading back to the starting point.
