Yes, it is a long way down ,don't look, don't mess with the camera, - just keep climbing nothing else matters now
The Arrochar Alps from Conic Hill above Balmaha. The slightly jaggy peak, just left of centre, is Ben Arthur or The Cobbler. It might not be a munro but it's a very good walk with a twist. To get to the centre peak summit, you have to pass through a small opening in the rock that leads to a narrow ledge over a 150' vertigo inspiring drop. Once on the ledge an awkward sloping ramp leads to a final step onto the flat summit rock - on which few choose to stand upright. Yes, I have been there and stood on the top of it.

A view of the Alps. From one of the many pull over and gawk at the beautiful landscape spots along the Hoeh Alps National Park. I'll check the spelling of the park when I get home.
A must do roadway if you are in the area.

In summer a hike on the Kitzsteinhorn glacier is highly refreshing. The altitude of more than 3,000m means that the glacier is also snowy in the warm season. Starting from the Alpincenter 2450m to the geologically fascinating rock formations at the foot of the Tristinger mountain and the Rettenwand. Our walk leads from the viewpoint at the Graswandkreuz via the Gletscherblick Panorama walking path back to the Alpincenter. Stretch your legs, breathe fresh air, and fall under the spell of the mountains. There’s nothing quite like the workout you’ll get on a mountain trail! Enjoy the outdoors, rejuvenate your body and soul. Once you've returned to the green valley you can take a dip in the Zeller lake. The valley station at 911 m offers a wide range of mountain adventures and hiking possibilities. have a look into the map: en.kitzsteinhorn.at/panorama/sommer.htm
It is one of the highest mountain experiences of all Austria: Hiking on the Kitzsteinhorn. This mountain peak is part of the Hohe Tauern and with an altitude of 3.203 metres one of Austria´s few glaciers. Also in summer you will find ice and snow here: at the Ice Arena with a snow beach, slippery sides and a play piste bully. Just right next to it green grassland in a high alpine landscape, fascinating rock formations and spectacular views on the National Park Hohe Tauern. We were high up in the Alps at the mountain range of the Kitzsteinhorn at elevation of 2450 meter. There is nothing anywhere that quite compares to the elegant forms of the peaks of the Kitzsteinhorn! At first glance, the jagged silhouettes of these mountains might suggest that they are more the realm of mountaineers than of hikers. But amidst the jaw-dropping splendor of peaks winds a network of trails that caters to the full range of hiking abilities. Stroll along paths that traverse ridgetops high above tree-line where 360-degree panoramas of a sea of peaks await.
Wintersporters zijn verzot op het Kitzsteinhorn gletsjerskigebied, zijn grootte, verscheidenheid & sneeuwgarantie 365 dagen per jaar. Met de Gletscherbahnen Kaprun kunt u van het dalstation op 911m hoogte de top van de Kitzsteinhorn tot op een hoogte van over 3.000 m per kabelbaan bereiken. In de zomer kun je prachtige wandeltochten maken met het alpincenter 2450m als uitgangspunt. Wandelen op de Kitzsteinhorn, Schmittenhöhe, Tristinger of Maiskogel is een ware belevenis. Oostenrijk is het land bij uitstek voor het beoefenen van Alpinisme. Zowel fanatieke bergbeklimmers als rookies zijn op hun plaats in de Oostenrijkse Alpen. Terwijl het voor de ervaren klimmers niet steil en hoog genoeg kan, is voor toeristen het volgen van smalle bergpaadjes langs de bergrichel al een hele ervaring. De frisse berglucht, de kletterende watervallen en de rijke flora en fauna zijn slechts enkele van de redenen om voor National Park Hohe Tauern te kiezen. De hoger gelegen wandelingen zijn eenvoudig te bereiken via de bergliften die ’s zomers tot de beschikking staan van wandelaars en natuurliefhebbers. Tijdens de wandeltochten kun je op verschillende plaatsen een berghut of restaurant aandoen om even bij te tanken. Een overzichtskaart kun je hier vinden: en.kitzsteinhorn.at/panorama/sommer.htm
