    Hiking

    With a little luck, you'll spot the rare edelweiss growing here among gentians and other alpine flowers along the path. From July to September, the small, woolly white plant displays its star-shaped blossoms.

    Hiking

    You should keep your eyes open on this short section. With a bit of luck, you might spot the famous edelweiss.

    From Kreuzboden (2400m) with its idyllic mountain lake, you hike the first section of the Alpine Flower Promenade to the Triftgrätji viewpoint. Edelweiss and gentian are just two of the approximately 240 flower species you can admire on the Alpine Flower Promenade. The high-altitude hike above the Grundberg leads into the wild and romantic Almagellertal to the Almagelleralp (2194m).
