A long, yet varied, summit tour that is also culinarily rewarding during the summer when the alpine huts are in operation. This hike leads to one of the most scenic summits in the Mürzer Oberland Nature Park.

The tour partly follows forest roads and partly unnamed trails from Tirolgraben through Lachalm to the huts on Hinteralm. From there, it is not far to the Spielkogel summit.

More information

Starting from Tirolgraben (P), we briefly follow the forest road and then cross a meadow, heading diagonally left uphill. Continuing on the marked forest road, we can shorten the switchbacks by following a well-recognizable but unmarked trail.

Where the forest road crosses the Lachalmgraben (concrete bridge), we turn left onto another unmarked trail that climbs fairly steeply to Lachalm. From here, we follow the marked path to the Hinteralm, taking the so-called "Ausgang" (exit) route and finally ascending to the Alm via Kapellerbergl. From here, we follow the marked path to the Spielkogel summit.

For the return, we follow the same route back.

This hike is especially recommended in the months of June, July, and August, as well as early September, during the alpine hut season, when refreshments are served at the alpine huts. In winter, it becomes a fantastic ski tour!
