HIKING

This place particularly attracts nature enthusiasts and hikers because it resembles a paradise. In terms of difficulty and length, there are various hiking routes. Everything around the Gjaidalm, and even if you only want to hike for a short time, for example, the Zwölferkogel is within reach.

On the other hand, it’s different for the route to the Taubenkogel: Here, you should expect several hours of walking back! For true hiking enthusiasts, that shouldn’t be an obstacle 😉

Watch out! You must be aware that you are in a high-alpine area, which carries risks. Therefore, it is especially important to have the right equipment and to stay on the paths.

For those interested in nature and cultural history, we also offer guided excursions with trained mountain guides. Quite interesting!
