This route is one of the most impressive running trails in the Ausseerland region. The route around Lake Altaussee offers everything a runner could wish for: well-maintained paths, shady sections through forests, impressive natural scenery, and picturesque views of the lake, the Loser, and the Dachstein.

The starting point is the spa gardens in Altaussee. From here, the route heads southeast to the Hotel Seevilla and continues along the southern shore. This section runs through a pleasantly cool forest to the fork in trails 1a and 233. The well-signposted trail 1a continues to the Strandcafe Altaussee.

From here, the route follows the lake shore, passing numerous vantage points with fantastic views of Lake Altaussee and the imposing Loser massif. At the foot of the Trisselwand, the trail turns north towards Seewiese. There, two inns with sunny terraces invite you to take a break.

At the foot of the Loser, the route continues back towards Altaussee. The trail leads along the idyllic lake promenade, past the Hotel am See and the church, back to the starting point in the spa gardens.

This flat jogging route is ideal for running training, endurance running, and relaxed laps during your vacation.
