Hiking & Mountaineering

Vacation in a mountaineering village

The villages in the Sellrain valley are part of the initiative “Bergsteigerdörfer” of the Austrian Alpine Association. The region is a marvellous holiday destination, as it offers numerous hiking paths that vary in difficulty. You can find everything from a leisurely afternoon stroll, to a climbing tour. The villages in the Sellrain valley lie very close to each other, which offers the perfect opportunity for a walk to the neighbouring town. You can take the regional busses home, which is free of charge with our guest card. Some of the most popular alps in our area ar the Almind-, Furgges- und Seigesalm in Sellrain, the Juifenalm in Gries and the Gleirsch- and Sonnbergalm in St. Sigmund.

If you take the circular route from Sellrain to St. Quirin, you’ll find a marvellous view and panorama to take in and enjoy.

Additionally, we offer free, guided hiking tours. The guide will not only keep you safe on the routes but also be an excellent company.

Equipment rental

The equipment rental of our partner Sport Seppl lies on the opposite side of the road. There, you’ll find a great variety of sports equipment for all your hiking activities. You can reserve the equipment online and in advance if you like.

Tour for experts

Weißstein and Roßkogel peaks via lake Hundstalsee – only for experienced hikers!

From the parking lot at the valley station of the Rangger Köpfl ski lift in Oberperfuss, the tour starts with a leisurely hike in the direction of the Roßkogelhütte pasture up to the impressive Hundstalsee lake and the Apollon temple, a breathtaking natural stone temple. A steeper and more difficult trail continues up to the ridge, which winds its way up to the Weißstein peak with some easy climbing sections. Heading further east, a short, secured climbing passage leads back to the ridge. After that, the path to the summit of Roßkogel peak is easy. The descent leads you over the steep north ridge, down to the Krompenbachsattel saddle and from there, down the same way to the parking lot as used upwards.

Tip: Alternatively, you can take the lift up to 1.363 m to Stiglreith, which makes the ascent more comfortable and saves about 500 metres of altitude difference.

Overall length: 17,5 km
Difference in altitude: 1.410 metres from Stieglreith
