High-altitude hike: Grafenberg - Gabel - Penkkopf - Kleinarl/Summer 2026: Grafenberg Cable Car closed due to construction of a new lift

From the Grafenberg mountain station, you first descend to the Hachaualm and then follow hiking trail No. 713 to the junction at Sonntagskogel. Then turn left onto hiking trail No. 712 and follow it to the Auhofalm (not operated). From the Auhofalm, trail No. 712 leads steeply to the summit of the Gabel. Surefootedness and a head for heights are necessary here. From the summit of the Gabel, descend a few meters back to hiking trail No. 712 (the crossing below the summit is secured with a steel cable) and follow it to the fork (trail No. 81) to the Penkkopf. From Penkkopf, an easy path leads down to the Kleinarler hut.

From the Kleinarler hut, continue on hiking trail No. 712 over meadows and through light forest downhill to the Hirschleiten service road, which becomes Ployergasse and leads directly into the center of Kleinarl, where the hiking bus stop is located.
