Tristkogel
The starting point for this historic loop is the "Pochwerk" parking lot, where traces of Kitzbühel's mining past can still be found. Follow the signs towards "Tristkogel" into the valley. Initially, the route follows a gravel road, then transitions to a beautiful trail, which occasionally intersects with the forest road, ascending towards "Tor" and "Torsee."
Before reaching "Toralm," turn towards "Torsee," arriving there after a few hundred meters. This stunning natural lake is nestled between "Gamshag" and "Tristkogel," offering a beautiful view towards "Geisstein." Run briefly along the lake, then turn onto a short, steep trail returning to the familiar path.
Return to "Tor" and head towards "Tristkogel," but instead of summiting, follow the easier path along its flank. The summit route requires sure-footedness and a good head for heights. The easier route provides a scenic view into Saalachtal. Continue towards "Saalkogel" and "Rauber," easily taking in these two peaks, then follow the ridge to "Laubkogel." The trails are gentle and manageable, with stunning northern views.
Descend from Laubkogel back into the valley, passing "Kelchalm" (Bochumer Hütte) before returning to the parking lot.
First variable with showers, becoming drier and brighter in the afternoon.
Dry and sunny throughout the day with hardly any clouds.
