See the legendary Streif in summer and get a feel for just how mad the Hahnenkamm Downhill really is. This hike starts at the top station of the Hahnenkammbahn, leads to the start hut and then downhill alongside the race course, past all the key points (start slope, Mausefalle, Steilhang, Seidlalm jump, etc.). A short detour takes you around the beautiful Seidlalm lakes. This hike is a must for ski fans and also very enjoyable for those who aren’t interested in skiing.
