Hiking middle station Hohe Salve

The ascent to the starting point of the summit hike, the Hohe Salve middle station, is via the Salvenbahn I, which starts in Hopfgarten. The hike starts from the middle station via a well-signposted forest path to the Hohe Salve reservoir. After a short rest at the lake, the path continues to the Salvensee, which is right at the foot of the Hohe Salve.

With the goal already in mind, you then hike over the southern slope to the summit of the Hohe Salve. Once at the top, it is worth visiting the Salvenkirchlein, the highest pilgrimage church in Austria. After enjoying the stunning 360 ° panorama, the Gipfelalm invites you to take a leisurely rest with its rotating sun terrace and dining room.

You can return to the middle station either via the same route or via the Alpengasthof Rigi. Of course, you can also take the cable car from the summit to the valley in comfort.
