This short circular hike is highly recommended to those who are looking for stunning panoramic views without having to climb the highest peaks. In Matrei in Osttirol we take the Goldried cable car to the mountain station near the Restaurant Goldried, a restaurant at 2,100 m a.s.l. The itinerary runs along a carriageway across the pastures to the panoramic viewpoint Adlerlounge on the Cimaross peak. From here, we enjoy a magnificent view of the Grossglockner, the Grossvenediger and the Rötspitz.
The second part of this hike leads downhill: initially, we follow path no. 27 to the Kals-Matreier-Törl (the eponymous mountain hut on the pass is a refreshment point). Then, we return to the mountain station of the Matreier cable car via a connection road. The easy, 5.5 km long routes can be completed in less than two hours of walking.
