Mallnitz - Hochalmblick

Access to the starting point:
From Spittal, drive towards Lienz, but only as far as Möllbrücke. In this village you will see signs for Mallnitz and the Alpine road to Großglockner. Follow this road to Obervellach, where the signs for Mallnitz point to the right. After the village, the road starts to climb steeply and after a few kilometres of climbing, it leads to the alpine town of Mallnitz. Continue for a few kilometres to the bottom station of the cable car to Ankogel (Ankogelbahn), where you park in a large parking lot.

Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, you will see signs on the left hand side of the road directing you left to the ski area. The trail then climbs quite steeply up the ski slope and occasionally passes through the forest or along a mountain road. If you stray from the marked trail somewhere along the way, you can also follow the mountain road or the ski slope. After a good hour's walk from the starting point, you will reach the intermediate station of the cable car at which the Hochalmblick hut is located.
