Over the Arbeserkogel to the Kellerjoch Hut (IVV)
Hiking & mountain tour

The Kellerjochbahn cable car takes you to the Hecherhaus and on via the Arbeserkogel to the Kellerjochhütte.

The first few metres of altitude to the Hecherhaus are covered by the Kellerjochbahn cable car (for sporty hikers, there is of course the option of walking to the Hecherhaus). On the way over the Arbeserkogel to the Kellerjochhütte, the view sweeps from the Großglockner to the Großvenediger and meets the Zugspitze in the north-west – a panoramic view of the most striking peaks and mountain ranges of the Eastern Alps.
