summit

The highest peak in the Chiemgau Alps is the Sonntagshorn ( 1961  m ) on the border between Bavaria and Salzburg south of Ruhpolding and north of Unken .

In the central part between Prien and Traun south of the Chiemsee the touristic well-developed peaks Kampenwand ( 1669  m ), Geigelstein ( 1813  m ), Hochgern ( 1748  m ), Hochfelln ( 1674  m ) and Rauschberg ( 1645  m ) rise . In the far east of the Bavarian Alps, north of Bad Reichenhall , is the striking Hochstaufen ( 1,771  m ), also a popular lookout summit, by a rocky ridge with the slightly higher Zwiesel (not to be confused with the town of Zwiesel in the Bavarian Forest ) and is connected to the Gamsknogel .

The summit shapes are usually not particularly rugged and are particularly ideal for hiking tours. However, there are also two well-known climbing mountains: the Kampenwand and the Hörndlwand ( 1684  m ). There are also numerous climbing routes on the Steinplatte ( 1869  m ), in the southern Chiemgau Alps at the border triangle between Bavaria, Tyrol and Salzburg. The mountain railways include the Hochriesbahn , the Kampenwandbahn, the Hochfellnbahn, the Geigelsteinbahn, the Hochplattenbahn as well as the Rauschberg and Unterstbergbahn. The largest ski area is the Winklmoos-Steinplatte ski area in the Bavarian- Tyrolean border area. There are also numerous smaller ski lifts. Most of the peaks of the Chiemgau Alps can be climbed in winter with snowshoes or touring skis ( Spitzstein , Hochgern, Sonntagshorn or Geigelstein, among others, are particularly popular ).
