The hike through the Altfasstal Valley combines nature and relaxation. The route passes alpine huts, Kneipp stations and sunny rest areas, making it particularly suitable for families and nature lovers.
Further information and useful links

The starting point is the paid Altfasstal parking lot. From there, follow the shaded, almost level forest road to the Kneipp facility. The route then continues with no significant elevation gain to the Großberghütte. Once you leave the forest, the view opens up over the sunny Altfasstal Valley.

The well-signposted trail follows a small stream through the valley. At the end of the Altfasstal Valley, you reach the Wieserhütte and the Pranter Stadlhütte at 1,850 metres, both offering refreshments.

Tip: For the return journey, you can hire a mountain bike and ride back down the valley.
