On **Hauser Kaibling's top**, you might be greeted by very special "locals": about **700 sheep** graze peacefully on the mountain, giving the alpine pastures its unique romance. A **selfie with mascot Wolli** and your entry in **the summit book** make your visit a very personal experience. Thanks to the **8-seater gondola lift** and the **Kaiblinggrat 8-seater chairlift**, the summit is easy to reach - just a **30 minute hike** separate you from the special place above everyday life. From up there, the picturesque **summit ridge** leads on to the Rossfeldsattel, the perfect starting point for memorable hikes to the **Moaralmsee lake**, the **Bärfallspitze** or, for the more ambitious, even the **Höchstein.** A **summit experience** that touches you - real highlights included. In the natural idyll of Kaiblingalm Schafsinn Lake ---------------- ### Feel nature with all your senses A place that connects: Peace and adventure, enjoyment and exercise, nature and family. Around the idyllic Schafsinn Lake, young and old discover summer at its best. Our **SCHAFsinn barefoot trail** along the reservoir lake gives you a sense of a sheep’s life, what they feel under their trotters every day, the moss, sand, forest soil, gravel, rock. You name it. Little adventurers can let off steam on the **SCHAFerl jump**, the **SCHAF via ferrata** or the fun **SCHAFgeflüster**. Check out the **SCHAF via ferrata.** You can scramble over tree trunks, rocks, stilts – no straps or carabiners to be seen. Secure your souvenir photo at the **SCHAFerl photo point** before enjoying the views from the cozy resting places or treating yourself to regional delicacies on **Kaiblingalm's** sun terrace. A real favorite place for the whole family - close to nature, eventful and full of sheep spirit.

The trail leads up to **1,900 meters** and deeper into the main Alpine ridge - always accompanied by impressive views. **Our tip:** When early summer is in full bloom (end of June to mid-July), the bright pink blooming **alpine bush** transforms the circular trail into a unique nature experience. **Culinary recommendation:** There are refreshment stops at the **Schutzhaus Kaiblingalm** with homemade juices, at the **TOMiziel** with sun terrace, at the **Krummholzhütte** with roast lamb from the Ennstal lamb or at **the d'Genussalm** with a fantastic view of the Dachstein. Refreshing hike Moaralmsee ------------ ### A nature jewel at Hauser Kaibling Some places touch you immediately - without words. The Moaralmsee at Hauser Kaibling is one of them. Nestled in the impressive mountain world of the Schladming Tauern, it rests like a silent mirror beneath the peaks and is just waiting to be discovered. From the mountain station of the **8-seater Kaiblinggrat chairlift**, a panoramic high-altitude trail leads over gentle ridges and past the **Hauser Kaibling summit** at **2,015 meters**, the highest point of the Schladming 4-mountain ski area. The trail continues over the **Rossfeldsattel** down to the idyllic **Moaralmsee lake**. Nestled between **Bärfallspitze** and **Höchstein**, the emerald-green mountain lake lies like a hidden treasure in the middle of the Tauern mountains. The path to the lake offers stunning panoramic views across the **Enns Valley**, tranquil mountain pine groves and alpine paths. Once you reach the lake, peace and quiet reign - only the gentle babbling of the stream accompanies your rest on the shore. A destination for **experienced hikers and nature lovers** looking for something special.
