“Alm” & Surrounding








"Alm" & Surrounding

  • Easy hiking trails, starting from the house, taking between ½ hour and 4 hours; you´ll find plans at the Alm; trails go for example to “Weiglmoar-Alm” or "Pfaffenthaler-Alm" which are open in summer. If there is a lot of snow in winter,  you can go hikings with snowshoes (12 pairs are available for our guests)
  • Walking, jogging, mountain-biking, cross country skiing, small skiing tours
  • To get back to the hunter and gatherer roots, you can look for and gather mushrooms & herbs from mid of July to September; you can make your own kindling for the oven by splitting small wooden logs with an axe, or mowing with the scythe
  • Kids, you can move freely, play in nature, get to know the forest, mushrooms, berries, herbs, watch wild animals, play in the tree-house, build a forest-house, roast sausages at the campfire, sleep in a tent …

Plans for hiking-trails are available at the “Alm”
