Warth | Bike & Hike Karhorn (2.416 m)

The hike begins at the village square in Warth and heads toward the Wolfegg district, from where you’ll follow the path uphill to the Alte Salzstraße junction. Following the Alte Salzstraße—a somewhat narrow trail—you’ll reach the valley station of the Jägeralp-Express. 

From there, a wide farm road leads you uphill to the Hochalphütte. From the Hochalphütte, the trail continues under the Karhorn Cable Car and the Jägeralp-Express. After passing the Jägeralp-Express, turn right. 

At the top station of the Jägeralp-Express, get off your bike and continue on foot. Follow the trail further uphill to the Wartherhornsattel. 

Then continue across the Wartherhornsattel toward Lech. At the next fork, turn right. From there, the trail leads straight up to the summit of the Karhorn. 

Once you reach the summit, you’ve earned a well-deserved break, during which you can enjoy the breathtaking view. 

The return trip follows the same route you took on the way up. 

Summit tip: If you still have enough energy and would like to climb another peak, you can turn right at the Wartherhornsattel toward the Wartherhorn. There, too, you’ll find fantastic panoramic views and a view over Warth.

Note: Climbing the Karhorn is only possible with via ferrata equipment! 

The trail then leads back to the Hochalphütte. Once you arrive at the Hochalphütte, the trail continues uphill. Passing the Panoramasee and over the Saloberkopf, a wide farm road leads you downhill. When you reach the Salobersattel, keep left toward Auenfeld. 

At the intersection after the Obere Auenfeld Alpe, keep right and continue through Auenfeld along the trail to Schröcken. 

Note: The tour can also be started from Schröcken. 

Important note: Bring a bike lock and lock up your bike.
