Hiking

This wonderful hike begins at the idyllic Hintersee lake. You hike through diverse forest and mountain landscapes up to the Schärenalm mountain hut. Here, you can take your first break, as the mountain hut invites you to rest with regional delicacies and offers your first views of the surrounding peaks of the Berchtesgaden Alps.

Then, the well-maintained path continues uphill until you finally reach the Blaueishütte, located at 1,680 meters. Once there, an impressive panorama opens up: The view sweeps down into the valley and up to the striking Blaueis Glacier in the Hochkalter massif. A wonderful place to enjoy alpine beauty and tranquil mountain moments.

After refreshing yourself with some particularly delicious homemade cake, for which the Blaueishütte is famous, you return the same way. Once again, the views are breathtaking – only this time in the other direction.

We took a break today on our way back from the Blaueishütte, and I highly recommend stopping there. Delicious food and incredibly friendly and attentive service. If the journey weren't so long for us, we'd definitely come more often. 🥇

The Schärenalm is highly recommended, super delicious cake and the Kaiserschmarren is a dream. Plus the service is incredibly friendly 👏🎉

Today we were at the Blaueishütte. The well-developed hiking trail feels very steep uphill in places, but is easy to master. At the end it goes over some "stairs" to the goal. After 6km in length and 850hm you have reached your destination. From up here, the view of the Hintersee is fantastic.

First on the Schartennalm 1359 m on a forest path that is closed to mountain bikers in the forest. Then on a narrower path with a beautiful view to the trail with many, also high steps steeply up to the Blaueishütte at 1760m with a great view of the valley and the Hintersee. Then a bit further in the direction …

The path is not signposted but is easy to walk on. Much nicer than walking up the gravel.
