There is no place like Alm - when you are walking in Bad Hofgastein

Walking on the Schlossalm

On the route
I would not like to give the impression that my walks are Austrian pub crawls but...
A walk from the middle-station on the Schlossalm to the top station gives plenty of options for refreshments on the way. Kitzsteinalm, Aeroplan, Fundner, Neudegg, Brandner Hochalm, Kleine Scharte restaurant are all possible options. The half-way house is the Brandner Hochalm. This walk up takes about 3 hours, that's if you don't make too many stops! By the way, the pine nuts of the Zirben pine are used to make a lovely schnapps
Its often difficult to determine ski run routing in summer but this pic. shows my favourite run H1. It passes to the left of the little Zirben pine in the centre.


Aeroplan just above the middle station.
Also open in winter, its clearly much more elaborate than the huts we usually use in summer, strudel is recommended though.
