Route description

Halslsteig leads from the upper Axamer Lizum side towards Halsl saddle. The path winds across the mountain slope and ends directly at this Kalkkögel pass. Its objective is the saddle and surrounding mountain terrain, without adding Nockspitze or Schneiderspitze ascents. This is an open direction: arrange the resort-side return or a continuation from the pass independently. The departure differs from the lower bus stop and car park. Add access from the transport side and allow for wind and changing weather at the saddle.
