Wolfgangsee-Fuschlsee Salzkammergut 2026 - Mountain Lakes Trail

5 days/4 nights, 9-15.5 km daily, approx. 1,810 m ascent/approx. 1,715 m descent in total, 3-star hotels and guesthouses

The new long-distance hiking trail connects the most beautiful peaks of the Salzkammergut with crystal-clear mountain and swimming lakes. The region owes its name to the rich salt deposits in Hallstatt and Bad Ischl, the revenues from which once supported the imperial court chamber in Vienna. On this hiking tour, you will enjoy lush green alpine meadows, fairytale forests and culinary delicacies. Many lakes, including the crystal-clear Wolfgangsee and the impressive Mondsee, invite you to take a refreshing dip in summer – a perfect combination of nature, relaxation and enjoyment.

  • Day 2 - Wolfgangsee boat trip and hike to the Schafbergalm approx. 15.5 km, ascent approx. 840 m and descent approx. 845 m, walking time approx. 5-6 hours + boat trip

    Your first hiking stage begins with a boat trip to the famous pilgrimage site of St. Wolfgang. Follow Marktstraße past the impressive pilgrimage church up to Kalvarienberg. A stony, shady path takes you to the idyllic Schafbergalm, the middle station of Austria's steepest rack railway, the Schafbergbahn. On the way back to St. Gilgen, the Schafbergsteig trail leads to the Europakloster Gut Aich monastery, where you can explore the herb garden and sample a liqueur from the monastery's own cellar. Finally, you will return to your accommodation along the romantic lakeside path.
    Example of hotel: Hotel Kendler in St. Gilgen

    Today's hiking stage takes you from one province to the next, with the 1,030-meter-high Almkogl rising right on the border. From the southern side, you climb up to the summit and enjoy the fantastic view of the Attersee, Mondsee and Irrsee lakes. The descent to Upper Austria leads steeply through the forest and past the Thekla Chapel. Before reaching the lakeside path, which finally leads to Mondsee with its castle and basilica, you pass St. Lorenz. Example of hotel: Hotel Prielbauer am Mondsee
  • Day 4 - From Mondsee to St. Gilgen approx. 9 km, ascent approx. 478 hm and descent approx. 298 hm, walk time approx. 3-4 hourse + bus ride

    The hike starts along the shore of Lake Mondsee with impressive views of the Drachenwand. The trail climbs gently to the cosy Wartenfels forest lodge. It is worth making a detour to the Wartenfels ruins at 1,020 metres, where you can enjoy unique views of Lake Wolfgang and Lake Fuschl. The descent to Lake Fuschl is short, and its shores, with their forests and flower-filled meadows, invite you to explore. If you wish, you can discover the idyllic lake on a circular trail. Afterwards, the bus will take you back to St. Gilgen.
