The original Saalachtal mountain trail runs from Saalbach to Spielbergtörl to Saalfelden. The starting point is at the station of the Kohlmaisbahn gondola. From here it is very varied, always through forests and over ridges to the Biberg. On the way you have a wonderful panorama with the Hohentauern with Glockner and Venediger and in the south the Kalkalpen with the Steinernen Meer, Watzmann, Hochkönig, Loferer and Leoganger Steinberge in the north
