Intro
The Karpensteinsteig leads from the intermediate station of the Schönjochbahn up to Fisser Joch. The alpine trail offers varied sections and makes for an enjoyable ascent into higher terrain.
Tour description
From the Steinegg (F061) take the vehicle track no. 9 to the second serpentine (F062). Then turn right onto the Fisser Höhensteig trail and the Karpensteinsteig path (F063). Just after a few meters, turn left moderately steep over high alpine pastures to a room-sized boulder (F094, Karpenstein). Now cross the vehicle track, up a bit more steeply, between the avalanche galleries onto a wide backed ridge (F084). The trail leads you left after a few
minutes to the Fisser Joch (F087) with its cablecar and restaurant. To the right, you go over the gentle wide ridge to the Schönjöchl summit cross (F079).
Start: Schönjochbahn mid station
