Description

1) Adlerlounge (2,405 m) - Kals-Matreier-Törl (2,207 m) - Kalser Höhe (2,434 m) - via the black hiking trail - Blauspitze (2,575 m) or
2) via the Blauspitz Mountain Restaurant, Trail 25a and AV 516 via the red hiking trail - to the summit of the Blauspitze
1) Take the gondola up to the Adlerlounge; for experienced hikers—an easy trail up to Kalser Höhe; from there, a marked trail leads northward toward Weißer Knopf, featuring several rope safety anchors, and from there westward over a somewhat exposed ridge to the summit of the Blauspitze. A head for heights and sure-footedness are required here.
2) A less exposed route for both the ascent and descent runs northward along the Aussig-Teplitzerweg (AV 516), toward the Blauspitz Panorama Restaurant (not open in summer), continuing on to the Glocknerblick Mountain Restaurant and down to Kals/Großdorf—this descent option takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. Beautiful panoramic views; can also be combined into a loop hike; botanically diverse (herb and flower trail on the descent into the valley)
