The path to the summit cross on one of Aussee's most beautiful panoramic mountains is actually a single ‘panoramic path’ with magnificent and extraordinary views, which then leads to a breathtaking all-round panorama. Not quite so easy, but definitely worthwhile and recommended!
- Difficulty level ‘medium’
- Starting point car park Gasthaus Trisselwand-Blick (Tressensattel)
- Walking time approx. 5 hours
- 8.1 km length
- 797 metres in altitude
This dream tour starts at the Tressensattel car park in Altaussee. There you walk across meadows, later through forest to the junction of path 233 and continue uphill to the right. The path climbs quite steeply through the forest (slippery in places!) and soon you reach a crossing forest road. Go straight over it, then steeply uphill, but always on a good track. There are already some beautiful views of the Trisselwand and the Dachstein behind you. You pass through the forest one last time before reaching the mountain pine zone. Then it is a long and very steep ascent over a now partly very rocky path. There is also a safety railing in places, but this is not necessary for the average hiker, although you should be sure-footed and have a head for heights! You soon reach a cosy bench with a magnificent view of Lake Grundlsee and the Dachstein to the left.
The trail now continues at a leisurely pace on the main path, partly uphill, partly downhill, sometimes through mountain pine lanes, sometimes across meadows. It gets steeper one last time, with the path leading very close to the edge of the precipice in places. The summit cross is soon reached. From there, a spectacular view of the sister mountain Loser and Altaussee awaits.
The hikes only take place in good weather.

About me:
I come from a small village called Söllichau, about 40 kilometres north of Leipzig in the Düben Heath, surrounded by dense beech forests.
I was fascinated by the mighty peaks of the Alps from a very early age and at some point I wanted to climb them myself. After my apprenticeship as a forester from 2003 to 2006, I came to Ausseerland after the storm Kyrill in 2007 to process storm wood on the Ressen. I was so fascinated by the combination of mountains, lakes in the Salzkammergut/Ausseerland, the naturalness that this region has retained and the old traditions of the people of Aussee that I absolutely wanted to stay here.
I have been actively hiking in the mountains since 2008 and have completed several alpine courses over the last 10 years (alpine touring course, climbing course, avalanche seminar). There is nothing better for me than standing on the summit after a strenuous climb. Enjoying the panorama and the distant views is pure freedom for me.
In 2022, I trained as a mountain hiking guide to turn my hobby into a profession. I would like to share my passion and the moments of happiness that arise on the mountain with other people. Of course, there are alpine dangers that should not be underestimated, such as weather, rockfall, falls, avalanches, etc. That's why it's good to have an experienced hiker at your side who can accompany you safely on the ascent and descent to guarantee a unique mountain experience.
