This hike through the Altfasstal Valley offers a wonderful mix of nature and relaxation. The route passes by alpine pastures, Kneipp stations, and sunny rest areas – ideal for families and nature lovers.
Further information and useful links

Start at the parking area of the Altfasstal Valley and take the shaded, nearly flat forest path to the Kneipp area. From there, the path continues without significant elevation gain to the Großberg Hut. Once you leave the forest behind, the view opens up over the beautiful, sunny Altfasstal Valley.

The trail is well-marked and follows a charming brook that winds through the valley, making navigation easy. At the end of the valley, you’ll reach the Wieser Hut and the Pranter Stadl Hut (1,850 m), both perfect spots to take a break.

Tip: For a fun return, consider renting a mountain bike and riding down the valley.
