A hike for the whole family

Are you looking for a leisurely hike with fantastic views in the Schladming mountains?

Then the Bankerlweg on the Hochwurzen is just right for you! This 2 km circular hike is ideal for families, connoisseurs and anyone who wants to experience nature without too much effort.

The hike

After the ascent with the Hochwurzen summit lift, you start your little adventure at 1,850 meters above sea level. For around an hour, you hike leisurely over the summit of the Kleine Hochwurzen, past magnificent views and through the untouched nature of the Schladminger Tauern. The trail leads you back to the mountain station via the popular "4 Seasons Trail" - perfect for a relaxing walk with family or friends.

26 original resting places invite you to linger

What makes the Bankerlweg Hochwurzen so special? The 26 unique resting places, which were created by the Hochwurzen team with great attention to detail.

Each "bench" is a small work of art - whether it's the panoramic "Weitblick-Bankerl", the cozy "Steinbockschaukel", the romantic "Herzerlbank" or the popular "Hollywood-Hochsitz" with panoramic views. Here you can pause, take a deep breath and enjoy the moment to the full.

Conclusion of the hike

After your circular hike , you have a choice: you can either speed down into the valley on a mountain go-kart or take the Hochwurzen summit lift back to the valley station.
