From Loderbichl to the Grubhörndl in the Almenwelt Lofer

After the ascent from Lofer with the Almbahn I to Loderbichl, walk 200m on the Loferer-Alm-Straße, then turn left (path no. 7) and hike up to the Postalm. From here, continue towards Bräugföllalm. Once there, go straight ahead at the junction, and climb the alpine meadow in switchbacks up to the wall of the Grubhörndl.

On a narrow and rocky mountain path, you cross the Jochinghöhe and the Lachfeldschneid and thus reach the summit of the Grubhörndl at around 1,747m in the shortest possible time, where you have a beautiful 360° view over the Salzburger Saalachtal.

For the return journey, follow the path down the other side of the Grubhörndl into the Almenwelt Lofer, past the summer-closed ski lifts, grazing cows and numerous alpine huts. The restaurants Schönblick and Soderkaser take care of your culinary needs here. From the mountain station of the Loferer Almbahn, follow path number 50 (waterfall path) first to the Bimalm and then down to Loderbichl. (Use of Almbahn II and I for the descent is possible.)
