Green meadows blanketed by pink alpine roses with an impressive panorama of the Hohe Tauern mountains above – early summer in the Grossarl Valley is a delight. With 40 alpine pastures, the blooming alpine landscape offers the perfect backdrop for your hikes and gives you plenty of opportunities to stop and enjoy the scenery – the Grossarl Valley is called the “Valley of the Alpine pastures,” and deservedly so. From mid-June to mid-July, you can experience the unique Alpine Rose Weeks (“Almrosenwochen”). With picture-book alpine pastures, panoramic peaks, and crystal-clear mountain lakes, the Grossarl Valley is a wonderful place to explore.
In this Collection, you will find nine different day hikes, ranging from gentle strolls through alpine pastures to demanding high mountain climbs. These hikes will help you forget the stresses of everyday life and invigorate your body and soul. Stunning mountain lakes such as Schuhflickersee or the Oetzlsee are ideal places to cool off – take off your hiking boots and dip your feet into the refreshing water. Or you can hike to the highest alpine pasture in the Grossarl Valley, the Saukaralm, and indulge in delicious food. On the hike to the Koelnbreinsperre, you reach impressive heights and can enjoy a magnificent panorama from the Arlscharte summit. No matter which type of hiking you prefer, you’ll find a suitable hike in this Collection.
Each of the nine routes can be reached directly from Grossarl or by bus or hiking taxi. Depending on the hike you choose, you need to be sure-footed and have a good fitness level. Don't worry about food and drink on the routes, as many cozy huts invite you to stop for a break. Here, you can taste regional and homemade produce – creamy alpine cheeses, spicy bacon and sinfully-sweet apple strudel.
