Short description

The Tauferer Ahrntal is a true Eldorado for hikers and mountaineers: surrounded by the glaciers of the valley and the main Alpine ridge as well as countless panoramic high-altitude and hiking trails. One of these leads hikers from St. Johann to the Kreuzkofel on the Trippachschneide.

Starting point of the tour

Gasthof Stallila in St. Johann

Destination of the tour

Kreuzkofel

Route description

The hiking tour starts in St. Johann, more precisely at Gasthof Stallila. Here you follow the Putzhof sign and hike over the Rohrberg into the mostly wooded western flank of the Trippachtal valley. From here, hikers have a fantastic view of the Großer Löffler.
To the right, follow the path to the Kegelgassalm, leave it behind you on the left and hike up the eastern slope of the Kreuzkofel to its summit. There are two secured passages in the last section. Now follow the red-white-red marked high-level trail to the thread and down to the Stallila.
