Hocheisspitze, 2523 m

Famous tour between Bavaria and SalzburgThere are two ways to get to the actual starting point of the tour, the Hirschbichl Pass: You can either cover two kilometers on a cleared, partly flat road to get to this border pass from the Austrian side, or you can wait until late spring and ride the seven kilometers from the Berchtesgaden side to the Hirschbichlpass on a mountain bike from Hintersee. The reward is a 1,000-metre-long cirque that leads to the summit of the Hocheisspitze with a constant steepness. However, safe spring conditions should prevail before deciding on this tour. The last serious avalanche accident in the Hintereis in December 2002 claimed two lives, the avalanche report at the time reported level 1. If you still have strength after the descent from the Mittereisalm, you can add the ascent of the Kammerlinghorn (also in this guide) and thus make the long ascent "twice as profitable". But then there are another 1200 meters of altitude on the program - a very long day.(Automatically translated by DeepL)
