The Großarltal, with its more than 40 managed alpine huts, offers plenty for hiking enthusiasts. From alpine mountain tours to relaxed family hikes, there is something for everyone. In summer, we also accompany our guests to an alpine hut three times a week, stop for a break there, and spend enjoyable hours together. Today on the blog, we are sharing our five favorite alpine huts in Großarltal.
1. Moar Gut Hochalm
Every Friday, we – the Kendlbacher family – accompany our guests to our own Moar Gut Hochalm. We drive part of the way up the alpine road by car and park in a designated parking area. The last stretch is then covered on foot. Walking over rocks and roots and crossing small streams, you quickly reach the Moar Gut Alm.
Once at the top, our kitchen and restaurant team is already waiting and provides culinary highlights. The day is also accompanied by live music. A day at 1,693 meters above sea level, without mobile reception, promises many unforgettable holiday memories.
2. Paulhütte
A beautiful hiking trail leads directly from the hotel to the Paulhütte, which can be reached in about one hour of walking time. Taking shortcuts through the forest makes the hike even more exciting, as there is always something new to discover along the way.
Our weekly guided horseback ride with our Icelandic horses also leads to the Paulhütte. After enjoying a traditional Kaiserschmarren, you return to Moar Gut on horseback.
3. Karseggalm
The oldest alpine hut in the valley radiates not only charm but also genuine hospitality. The cheese produced on the alp and other local specialties invite guests to stop and enjoy a relaxing break.
Our tip: Try the Knetkasbrot – a true specialty of the Karseggalm.
4. Heugathalm
A pleasant hike that is also suitable for strollers leads to the Heugathalm. From the parking area, the alp can be reached in a short time. Children can enjoy a large playground, while parents relax and enjoy refreshments at the hut.
5. Bichlalm
If you love sunshine and breathtaking views, the Bichlalm is the perfect destination. The hiking trail called “Himmelsleiter” (Heaven’s Ladder) truly lives up to its name, as it climbs steeply through the forest like a ladder reaching up to the sky. At the top, you are rewarded with long hours of sunshine and a unique panoramic view.
Our tip
Many hikes to the alpine huts are also perfect for bike tours. Simply rent a mountain bike (with or without electric assistance) from the hotel’s sports shop and start your adventure
