From the Vorderkaserklamm in Weissbach, you walk along flowing streams on a varied path to the fantastically located mountain meadow Hochkaser, a lonely pass crossing that takes you between the steeply rising peaks of the Leogang and the Loferer Steinberge on the Tyrolean side. Via the Niederkaseralm and through the Grieseltal, your path leads along wild riverbeds to the beautiful Pillerseetal, with the Loferer Steinberge mountain range in the background.

Over lush green meadows and with a view of the Kitzbühel Alps, you walk into a deep valley, from where a hiking trail leads you, under the cable car of the magnesite mine, to the Bürgeralm.

Or will you climb one of the many inviting mountain peaks?
