Kellerjoch and Kreuzjoch

You can receive a parking permit from Gartalm-Hochleger if you plan to have a meal after you hike. Parking without permission on private property could result in a fine.

An incline that is easily accessible for those with mountain driving experience takes you past the Kellerjoch hut (2,237 m) to the chapel on Kreuzjoch Mountain (2,344 m). From Gartalm you will reach Kellerjoch in 1.5 hours by foot. And from there, continue on another 30 minutes to Kreuzjoch.
