This scenic circular hike begins at the mid-station of the Olang 1+2 cable car. From there, a pleasant trail leads uphill to the Geiselsberger Hut. After a short break, turn right onto the Via Artis, a panoramic loop trail circling the summit plateau of Kronplatz.
Along the way, you’ll discover a variety of art installations in nature – an inspiring blend of landscape, movement, and creativity. The trail brings you back to the Geiselsberger Hut, from where you return comfortably to the mid-station.
If you wish, you can then take the cable car all the way to the summit of Kronplatz, where two remarkable museums await: the LUMEN Museum of Mountain Photography and MMM Corones by Reinhold Messner. There are also several dining options at the top – perfect for a delicious break with breathtaking views.
