Panarama Walk

You are at: Home > Saalbach walks > Panarama Walk

06/09/2004 - the Panarama Weg is a high level walk that links the top station of the Schattberg Xpress with the top station of the Zwolferkogel Lift. Because of the operating times of the lifts, the walk has to be completed in approximately 7 hours, unless you do not mind the descent from the ridge at the end of the day. This is a pity, as we were always concious of the time, and this detracted from what is a very enjoyable walk. It took us 6.5 hours but the bergfuhrer only allowed his party a few brief stops, this did cause some dissent in the ranks!

We were on the lift as soon as it opened (which was a little earlier then scheduled), and started walking from the top Station (2018m), enjoying the freshness and views. We walked down to the col below the Westgipfel. However we could not go up the track as it was closed for maintenance, so we took the path over the Mittelgipfel to the Westgipfel (2096m - 10 points) for our first stamp of the day. We then continued south along the main ridge to Seetorl. Here we took the path going west.

The path crossed the Baumoosriedel ridge, it then contured along the slopes until it climbed to meet the main ridge at Sommertor (35 points). We had a short break here and something to eat, before continuing on to Stoffennieder (25 points). From Stoffennieder we walked along the ridge going north over Schonhofer Wand (2116m) which was the highest point on the walk. We stayed on the Panarama Path which skirted around Hoher Penhab before finally reaching the end of the Walk at Zwolferkogel (10 points). We caught the lift down to Hinterglemm and rewarded ourselves with a glass of wine and ice cream before catching the bus back to Saalbach.
