Samerberg hiking paradise
The Hochries (1569 m) and the Samerberg are one of the most beautiful hiking
paradises in Chiemgau and the local mountain of the Rosenheimers.
Samerberg (700 m) – Ideal conditions
currently exist for a relaxing day of adventure on the Hochries on the
Samerberg. The local mountain of Rosenheimers, Munich residents and hikers
offers a variety of impressions with its daily service from 9.30 a.m. with the
chairlift to the middle station and with the cable car to the summit. There are
catering options both in the valley and at and near the middle station and also
on the summit.
Rosenheim's local mountain offers easy and more difficult hiking opportunities for young and old, but a trip to the 1,569 meter high summit with a stop at the Alpine Club Hochrieshütte is also worthwhile using the chair lift and cable car.
If you're already feeling hungry
on the way up, the Käser-Alm near the middle station or the "Kräuter-Hexe" at
the middle station are the right places for you. Families with smaller children
especially feel at home here. There are also beautiful playgrounds waiting for
the little ones. A stop at the newly opened "S'Park" (formerly Parkstüberl) at
the valley station rounds off the varied day trip.
Daring mountain bikers
are also welcome in the bike park from the middle station to the valley station.

The
bike park is also open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Hikes on the Hochries
From the valley station to the middle station (Ebenwaldalm)
The easiest way to get from Grainbach to the plateau of the Ebenwaldalm is, of course, with the single chairlift of the Hochriesbahn. The middle station, on the Almgrund Ebenwald, can also be reached on foot in half an hour via a paved road (closed to motor vehicles).
Around the middle station at an altitude of 910 m there are flat hiking trails that lead to green mountain meadows, to the Schwarzsee and to the partially managed alpine pastures (Käseralm and Moserboden). Do you want to float silently with wonderful views of the valley after your tour? Then enjoy the ride on the Hochriesbahn-Sessellift.
From the middle station (Ebenwaldalm) to the Hochries summit
A trip to the summit of the Hochries (1569
m) is worth it!
The ride on the Hochrieskabinenbahn is the most convenient
and fastest way to the summit. During the pleasant journey, you can enjoy
overwhelming views. From the summit station you can reach the Hochries summit
with Hochries hut and summit cross in 15 minutes.
The ascent is also possible
on foot (around 750 vertical meters), but fitness and endurance are
necessary.
Main career opportunities are
Walking, hiking and mountaineering on the Hochries
over Moserboden and over the Seitenalmen
or
via Ebersberger-Alm and the giant plateau
to the Hochries summit.
