Stages in source order

  1. Stuben: Stubner See and Kaltenberghütte circuit

    hiking · 10.27 km · publisher difficulty S (Schwierigkeit 75/100)

    Check current path access, weather, snow and required equipment before travel. Original seasonal and open-status labels do not confirm current conditions. This is a mapped reference; automatic navigation remains held. Source read 2026-11-01.

    The source duration is inconsistent: the national record gives 100 minutes and the visitor factbox about 1.7 hours, but the detailed roadbook chooses a 2½-hour ascent and later a one-hour Stuben return option. No single reference time is qualified. Plan this full mountain circuit with ample time rather than relying on the short factbox figure. Source read 2026-11-01.

    The publisher gives 10.08 km, 718 m ascent and 718 m descent, at 1383-2081 m. This complete mapped reference measures 10.27 km, 736 m ascent and 736 m descent, with sampled heights 1378-2080 m. Allow for the measured climb; the original publisher difficulty remains unchanged. Source read 2026-11-01.

    The publisher gives difficulty S (75/100) and June–October suitability. The ascent includes a steep, narrow and partly overgrown path, wetland and dwarf-pine terrain; the return includes an overgrown old road and a poorly marked ski-run corridor. Suitable boots, fitness and surefootedness are needed; the summer reference does not qualify winter walking. Source read 2026-11-01.

    The route passes the outdoor front of Kaltenberghütte and its nearby small lakes; Stubner See is a separate lake on the ascent. The original roadbook mentions a cross in front of the hut. Hut entry, food, accommodation and current facility opening are unverified. Swimming and safe water access are unverified. Source read 2026-11-01.

    At the Albona restaurant area the supplied return takes the old-road fork rather than adding a restaurant visit. The narrow wooden path bridge near Stuben is distinct from the outward wooden track bridge. Check current local signs, stream levels, bridge condition, weather and snow before travel; no automatic navigation or transport clearance is supplied. Source read 2026-11-01.

    The linked original visitor description gives the detailed source route context. Check current local path conditions, required transport and facility opening before travel; this informational reference supplies no automatic navigation clearance. Source read 2026-11-01.

    Glacier assessment unknown. Automatic planning and navigation exports remain held.
