Circular hike to the Reiterkogel summit in Saalbach-Hinterglemm
The hike on the Reiterkogel begins with the ascent on the Reiterkogelbahn cable car in Hinterglemm. From the mountain station, the trail leads towards the Reiterkogel summit, which can be reached in around an hour. The summit at 1,819 meters above sea level offers a comfortable bench that is perfect for a short break and to enjoy the breathtaking view.
