  A true adventure for experienced riders: together with one of our riding instructors and a small group, you’ll spend around 3.5 hours riding through the spectacular mountain scenery of the Großarl Valley to the Paulhütte mountain hut. Covering plenty of elevation along the way, the ride takes you through the mountains at a walk, trot and canter. Once you reach the alpine pasture, the horses enjoy a well-earned rest while you savour freshly prepared traditional Kaiserschmarren surrounded by breathtaking mountain views. After time to relax and take in the scenery, you’ll set off together on the ride back down into the valley. Riders must be confident and able to ride independently at a walk, trot and canter.
