When we arrive at the Alm, we have already completed two hours of hiking and can take a short break. There is the option of continuing to hike the last stage along hiking trail no. 20 to the Schafbergspitze or having the Schafbergbahn take you to the summit (note: the seats on the cable car are often fully booked!). Arrived at the summit, we enjoy the wonderful view over the Salzkammergut, with good visibility we can see as far as the Dachstein. For the descent we take the same path as for the ascent. *Refreshments: "Hotel Schafbergspitze" and shelter "Himmelspforte". The times given correspond to the outward and return journey.* [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 5310 Tiefgraben am Mondsee **Destination:** 5310 Tiefgraben am Mondsee **duration:** 5h 30m **length:** 12,3 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 1.325m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 1.317m **Lowest point:** 580m **Highest point:** 1.758m **difficulty:** difficult **condition:** difficult **panoramic view:** Dreamtour **Paths covering:** Gravel, Hiking trail **Starting point:** Parking lot fire station Winkl **Destination:** Peak of mount Schafberg **further information:** - Board possible [ ![Altitude profile From Winkl to mount Schafberg (Sheepmountain)](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_100087&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile From Winkl to mount Schafberg (Sheepmountain)](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_100087&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "From Winkl to mount Schafberg (Sheepmountain)") [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- **Accessibility / arrival**The starting point of this tour is the depot of the Winkl volunteer fire brigade, located directly on the B154. **Parking**- Parking space: 20 **Parking fees**none [ Suitability ](#ttgCollapseEignung) -------------------------------------- - Suitable for teenagers - Suitable for single travelers - Suitable for friends - Suitable for couples **Most economical season**- Summer - Autumn [ Accessibility ](#ttgCollapseBarrierefreiheit) ------------------------------------------------- Please get in touch for more information.
