Hike Hochplatte

Hike up the Hochplatte to an elevation of 1,813 meters via the sunny Jägersteig trail and enjoy the magnificent panoramic view of the Jochalm and the Karwendel from one of the most beautiful vantage points.

An enjoyable ascent takes us along the Jägersteig through sparse mountain forest, past the Bründlalm (1,220 m) and the rustic Jochalm (1,410 m). The trail continues past the Seewaldhütte across wide alpine meadows and along a mountain path to the summit of the Hochplatte at 1,813 m. Since the huts along this route are used for agricultural purposes but are not open to the public, we’ll enjoy our break at the summit with the provisions we’ve brought along and a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains.
