Thanks to the summer lifts, you can easily reach up to 1,870 m above sea level and immerse yourself in the mountain world without much effort.

Highlights such as the striking summit cross with an entry in the summit book ensure true summit moments. For children, mascot Wolli is waiting at 2,015 m to take a memorable photo at the summit .
A special experience is the Schafsinn circular trail around the summit: part leisurely, part sporty - always with fantastic views and exciting stations all about sheep. Rest areas with views of the Dachstein and interactive elements turn the tour into a family experience. At the Kaiblingalm, you enjoy some alpine feeling and regional cuisine.

Alpine lamb project
700 sheep on Hauser Kaibling
Sustainable slope maintenance and nature experience
The Alpine lamb project has been an integral part of sustainable slope management at Hauser Kaibling since 2009. Originally started as an EU LEADER project, it is now considered a prime example of environmentally friendly slope maintenance and active nature conservation. The sheep are traditionally accompanied by an experienced shepherd with a herding dog - a picture that makes guests pause in awe. If you hike along the Schafsinn circular trail, to the summit or to the Kaiblingalm, with a bit of luck you will come across the bleating herd - a highlight for children and adults alike.
The animals not only tend to the alpine meadows, but also create special moments in the midst of nature - with a peaceful atmosphere and the Dachstein panorama in the background. In culinary terms, the project is reflected in the high-quality Ennstal lamb served at selected huts. Particularly popular: the hearty lamb roast at the Krummholzhütte - pure enjoyment with a mountain view.
Family tip: Many of our family-friendly hiking trails lead directly through the sheep area - perfect for experiencing sustainable farming up close.
