Our Tip: The Ascent Track Scheppal Alm – Kings Cab
The ascent trail from the Scheppalalm to the Kings Cab mountain station leads along a signposted and prepared route over almost 6 km to a magnificent vantage point. In the middle of the ski area, but not on the ski slope, it goes through a quiet forest area and finally below the track of the Kings Cab cable car to the summit.
