Many pilgrimage churches along the Via Maria bear witness to the enormous religious and spiritual tradition of this route through the typical Bavarian and Austrian cultural landscape with its meadows, fields and forests. The alpine variant mentioned here runs via Mondsee, St. Wolfgang and Ebensee to the Almsee and into the valleys of Steyr and Enns. This alpine variant follows the long-distance hiking trail 06 and partly the European long-distance hiking trail E4 and is easy to complete in three days, but requires good weather and fitness. Alternatively, you can also start from St. Wolfgang. From here it is a two-day stage to Ebensee! South of Steyr, the Via Maria meets the Upper Austrian Mariazellerweg coming from Linz [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 5310 St. Gilgen **Destination:** 4463 Maria Neustift **duration:** 54h 4m **length:** 155,5 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 7.434m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 7.448m **Lowest point:** 375m **Highest point:** 1.798m **difficulty:** medium **condition:** medium **panoramic view:** Some Views **Paths covering:** Asphalt, Gravel, Hiking trail **Details - hiking**- themed path [ ![Altitude profile Via Maria Alpin-Variante 2](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430006876&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Via Maria Alpin-Variante 2](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430006876&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Via Maria Alpin-Variante 2") [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- [ Suitability ](#ttgCollapseEignung) -------------------------------------- **Most economical season**- Spring - Summer - Autumn [ Accessibility ](#ttgCollapseBarrierefreiheit) ------------------------------------------------- Please get in touch for more information.
