Karwendelbahn mountain station and restaurant

Highlight • Rest Area

Nice train, nice view. And very practical - ascent and descent together are pretty tough.
But € 23 for a one-way trip is a very confident price!

Dammkar

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

This difficult hike with a steep ascent leads us from Mittenwald through several landscapes to the western Karwendelspitze. At first through a fairytale mixed forest, later increasing through subalpine and ultimately alpine terrain, we can beautifully observe the change of zones. The Dammkar hut, framed halfway up by impressive rocks, impresses with its "simplicity" that has been preserved to this day and provides us with a simple snack or soup before the second half of the tour.
If you have enough time when you arrive at the "Karwendelgrube" or if the last ascent to the Western Karwendelspitze is too difficult for you, you have the opportunity here to enjoy great panoramas in all directions on the easy paths of the "Passamani" circular route or make a detour to the opposite North Linderspitze (2374 m) and thus also get to the (additional) deserved summit experience.

Dammkar Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Dammkarhütte, a fourth-generation family business, has delighted hikers, climbers and skiers alike since it opened in 1950. Located at an altitude of 1,650 metres in the Karwendel Mountains, it offers an ideal starting point or stopover for numerous mountain activities. Although the hut only sleeps ten, it is a popular destination, making advance booking essential.

The hut attracts not only with its stunning views of the surrounding rock faces, but also with its traditional cuisine. The isolation adds to the charm, as there is no cell phone reception, which offers a welcome break from the digital world.

The Dammkarhütte can be reached via various routes from Mittenwald, with the hike taking around two hours depending on the route. The proximity to various climbing routes and the opportunity to enjoy the skiing delights of the Dammkar in winter make it a versatile destination for mountain lovers.
