Yes, during the summer season—from mid-July through the end of August—we offer guided hikes to our own alpine pasture in Hinterglemm once a week, depending on the time of year. Here, you can explore a particularly authentic alpine region far from mass tourism. Since there isn’t a single alpine hut with a restaurant in this area, you’ll need to bring your own food. Along the way, you’ll experience the mountain world in its most pristine form and gain insights into alpine farming, both past and present. You’ll need your own car to get to Hinterglemm. For many guests, this is a real highlight because it allows them not only to see the region but also to experience it.
