Hike from Pass Thurn to the Resterkogel summit
This easy hike starts at the Pass Thurn parking lot between Mittersill and Jochberg. Opposite the large Pass Thurn vacation hotel, you will see the hiking signs on the far left on the other side of the road, which mark the start of the hiking trail. Here the trail leads directly into the forest, where the path climbs quite steeply in places. After the ascent through the shady forest, the terrain opens up to reveal views of alpine meadows. The path continues across green meadows. Finally you reach the mountain station of the Panoramabahn Kitzbühel Alps. Once you reach the Resterkogel summit at 1,892 m, you are rewarded with a magnificent panoramic view of the three thousand meter peaks of the Hohe Tauern National Park.
The way back leads along the same path back to the parking lot at Pass Thurn.
