Hike Zell am Ziller – Rosenalm – Kreuzjoch

From the starting point of the tour, the Rosenalm at 1744 metres/ 1907 yards altitude, the tour will lead out of the valley. At the cattle grid, which is just at a junction, you'll turn right. The way will slightly steeply lead upwards to the Gründlalm, which offers food and beverages. Once there, you'll turn left and hike until you get to the Kreuzjoch Alm. Sticking to the right, you'll be walking straight towards the Kreuzjoch Alm. After the hut, the way leads leftwards to the mountain station Hanser X-Press. Just before the station, a hiking path begins that will lead along the mountain ridge. After crossing the ski slope, you'll continue on the south side of the acclivity. If you get to the mountain ridge, you'll have the chance to carry on up to the peak of the Kreuzjoch at an altitude of 2558 metres/ 2797 yards.

From the peak of the Kreuzjoch, the highest point of the Kitzbüheler Alps, a breath-taking 360° view on the surrounding mountain world will stun the hiker.

On this tour, you are advised to wear solid mountain boots.
