Hiking in all seasons
There is nowhere more beautiful to watch the seasons change than in the mountains. In spring, innumerable waterfalls rush down the hillsides, while firn glitters on the mountain peaks. In summer, you can make the most of hiking in the Grossarl Valley, conquering imposing mountain peaks and spotting rare wild animals. Autumn is the perfect time to discover the cosier side of “The Valley of Huts”: bread fresh from the wood-fired oven, local bacon, traditional “Bauernkrapfen” doughnuts, blackberry dumplings and homemade schnapps.
Top tip: visit a mountain hut
What tastes best in the mountains? A good snack, of course. Any keen hiker will love the rustic, homemade delicacies prepared on site with love and care. Bread straight from the oven, tangy sour cheese, hearty bacon and fresh buttermilk. In the Grossarl Valley, you are guaranteed to leave any mountain hut feeling replenished and ready for your next adventure.
