Katschberghöhe

The pass road over the Katschberghöhe (1,641m/5,384ft), once feared because of its gradient of up to 29%/1 in 3.5; (still 16%/1 in 6 for a short distance following realignment), is used less now since the motorway tunnel was completed. The heights, covered in snow all the year round, are served by lifts and downhill slopes. On foot it is about one hour westward to the Kareckhaus (1,844m/6,052ft).
