Kreischberg adventure hike

Open
The Kreischberg adventure hiking trail combines a beautiful alpine hike with wonderful views as well as exciting experiences such as the “moor view” of the “Ghost Railway” or the “Kreischi Safari”.
The Kreischberg presents itself as a beautiful hiking area for the whole family in summer! The new 10-person gondola lift takes you comfortably from the valley up to 1,800 meters above sea level. From here you take a leisurely, moderately difficult hike through alpine meadows up towards the mountain station of the Sunshine lifts. Halfway there is the “Moorblick” with an interesting and exciting representation of the “Kreischberg Moor”. The final climb then leads through the “Kreischi Ghost Train” with scary figures along the side of the path. Once you reach the top you will be rewarded with a beautiful view. On the way back there are exciting encounters with lions, elephants, giraffes and the like in the “Kreischi Safari”.
