Description

It is recommended to take the round trip as a two-day tour, with overnight stay in the SAC hut Sardona. The high-altitude hike from the Sardonahütte to lake Balaton and Lake Heitel is considered the "hiking highlight" in the Calfeisental. On the whole tour you have the overwhelming mountain scenery from iRingel-, Sardona- to Gigerwaldspitz in mind. The crystal clear, smaller mountain lakes, Plattensee and Heitelsee, invite you to linger. The flora on the Chratzeri, with small raised bogs, is lush and unique, especially in early summer. The ridges and mountain peaks all along the way are ibex area.

Hidden Gem

The cosy dining room at Sankt Martin invites you to linger with a drink or a meal.

Safety Note

Depending on the weather conditions, special care should be taken. It can be very slippery in some places- especially in wet conditions.

Equipment

Good hiking equipment, very stable mountain boots.
