Destination:
The Grimming is a significant point
between the Styrian Salzkammergut and the valley Ennstal

The view from the summit of the Grimming is fantastic – the way there could be called a „power tour“
The way up requires good condition and slip resistance, you should have a good head for heights and experience with rocks
In addition there isn’t any inn or serviced hut and no water on the whole way, just a bivouac
Starting point is the international Ski-flying jump “Kulm” in Bad Mitterndorf
The end of the jump - about one and a half hour by car from the House Grabler, Altmünster, - and also the train station are situated on 800 m above sea level
From there to the summit of the Grimming (2361 m) you’ve to cope with a difference in height of almost 1600 high metres
Walk up zigzag along the jump, pass the farmer's house „Kulm-Bauer“ and through the small valley to the real beginning (about one hour walking time)
The path leads in the beginning slightly upwards through the forest and gets steeper later through the rocks. After 4 to 5 hours of walking from the Kulm-valley you’ll reach the lonely, lovely summit. Way back like way up
