Route outline
The 2264 metre high Kuhmesser is 'only’ an unspectacular summit at the end of the ridge which branches out from the Kellerjoch to the south-east. This mountain which has a wonderful name does however have many qualities, which is what makes it an exceptionally worthwhile hiking destination. The climb is indeed steep, but is also suitable for children who like hiking. The views from the summit cross are absolutely top notch – from the Inntal to the Karwendel, from the Tux mountains to the glacier main ridge of the Zillertal, and you can see the nicest side of the close-by Kellerjoch from the small chapel. That there is often a flock of nosey sheep on the summit route should delight young hikers more then any panorama ever could. And after the tour a famous ‘Loas-Schnitzel’ in Alpengasthof Loas is a tempting treat.
Route: From the car park on the Loassattel follow the route markers up the steep meadow slope. After a short section through the forest the path heads rapidly uphill. The view becomes increasingly clear and there are plenty of options to stop-off, and take a look around. After around 1 1/4 hours there is a signpost ‘Kellerjochhütte 30 min’ which takes you left, to the flank. Keep going straight on, on equally steep ridges and you’ll soon reach the summit cross. Stop-off available beneath the Loassattel in Alpengasthof Loas.
Special features: Easy-to-reach viewing lodge between the Inntal and Zillertal. Particularly lovely when the Alpine roses are in bloom at the end of June.
