High trail to the Moaralmsee
With the Hauser Kaibling 8-seater gondola lift and the Kaiblinggrat 8-seater chairlift or the Tauern cable car, you comfortably cover most of the altitude difference. From the mountain station, you reach Hauser Kaibling's summit at 2,015 m in around 30 minutes - featuring breathtaking panoramic views. Continue via the Rossfeldsattel and the varied trail to the Moaralmsee - a turquoise-green natural gem in the midst of an impressive mountain landscape. An incomparable play of colors can be seen here, especially when the alpine roses are in bloom.
There are several options for the way back:
- Standard route: Back via the Rossfeldsattel and the Kaiblingalm - perfect for a leisurely stop with a view of the Dachstein.
- Sporty option: From the lake via the Seescharte (trail no. 45/780) down to the Kaiblingalm.
- Pleasure variant: Via Almsteig trail no. 781 into the Gumpental valley with a stop at the Stangl Alm. Return journey by hiking taxi (advance booking required).
