The small Kastenalm is located in the picturesque Hinterautal valley in Scharnitz. At 1,220 meters, extensive alpine meadows extend around the traditional wooden hut. Here you can enjoy delicious Tyrolean Brettljausen with a variety of Almschmankerln and cakes according to old traditional recipes - the hut is closed only on Wednesdays. As a perfect bike & hike destination, you can cycle from the Isar spring to the Kastenalm by (e-)bike and explore the surrounding mountain landscapes (such as Sunntigerspitze, Speckkarspitze, Hallerangerhaus and Hallerangeralm) by foot. Parking facilities for bicycles of all kinds are available about hundred meters from the hut. From the gate to the hut is a footpath out of consideration for the alpine animals.
