E5 Kaunergrat alternative route: Kaunergrathütte – Braunschweiger Hütte
Start
Kaunergrathütte (2814m)
Finish
Braunschweiger Hütte (1601m)
Follow the path downhill to the second crossing. There are two alternative routes from here to the catered mountain hut Braunschweiger Hütte.
1st route: follow the path further downhill until you reach the hamlet of Plangeroß. Once there, follow the valley trail [Talwanderweg] to Mittelberg.
2nd route: Hikers with alpine experience can follow a high route, the so called Cottbuser Höhenweg, which is partially equipped with fixed ropes until you reach the top station of Rifflseebahn gondola. Continue hiking down to the catered mountain hut Taschach Alm and then descend to Mittelberg.
Both variants of the hike join up again in Mittelberg. Once there, continue the last 1,000 metres in altitude up to the catered mountain hut Braunschweiger Hütte.

Beginner Route
Start
Mittelstation Hochzeiger (2025m)
Finish
Kalbenalmweg (2153m)
This beginner’s route is ideal for those who dare to take their first steps on touring skis. The first few meters are very flat, which is perfect to get used to your new sports equipment. It then gets a little steeper and you get a little more feel for walking with climbing skins. Once you have reached your destination (Kalbenalmweg), you can ski back to the start on the piste, or you can take the Sechszeiger route and continue a further 233 meters in altitude to the mountain station of the Sechszeigerlift.
E5 Valley hiking trail alternative route: Wenns – Scheibe
Start
Wenns (999m)
Finish
Scheibe (1382m)
Follow the valley hiking trail [Talwanderweg] from Wenns to Scheibe. This is an easy hike along the bottom of the valley, which repeatedly crosses the country road.
Sechszeiger Route - black
Start
Car park Liss/Hochzeiger Bergbahnen P5 (1460m)
Finish
Sechzeiger (2335m)
Follow the route to the intermediate station until you reach the underpass. However, do not go through it and do not stay on the toboggan run but turn left next to piste no.9 instead – it’s an ascent through woodland terrain. Once you have reached the logging road of the Sechzeiger slope no.7 – follow it for approx. 200 m and then continue across a slightly hilly terrain through a small valley until you arrive just below the mountain station of the Sechzeiger ski lift.
E5 Verpeilhütte – Kaunergrathütte
Start
Verpeilhütte (2014m)
Finish
Kaunergrathütte (2819m)
This alpine stage starts at the catered mountain hut Verpeilhütte, then continues across Kühgrübl past the so called Madatschtürmen [Madatsch towers] to the Madatschferner glacier, which you will follow along its southeastern edge. Once there, continue on a steep fixed ropes course up to the Aperen Madatsch Joch ridge. The ca. 4 hour descent is similar to a fixed rope course across a mountain crest to the catered mountain hut Kaunergrathütte. Please note: this stage requires alpine experience!
E5 Zams - Piller
Start
top station Venetbahn/Krahberg (768m)
Finish
Piller (1349m)
Take Venetbahn gondola up the first section of the hike and then follow the panoramic path to the catered mountain hut Gogles Alm. Once there, follow the steep path behind the hut and continue to the catered mountain hut Galfun Alm. Once there, descend in the direction of Piller.
