Family-friendly
This short, family-friendly winter hike starts either at the info hut at the entrance of the Gaistal valley and follows the Leutascher Ache upstream to the trail sign for Hämmermoosalm, or alternatively, from the last (with fees) hiking parking lot at Salzbach (P3-5) directly to the hut ascent. On the way down, the route can also be taken via the Hämmermoosalm toboggan run – so if you like, you can bring a sled along.
The relaxed ascent follows a wide hiking trail up to the cozy Hämmermoosalm at 1,417 meters. There, the traditional kitchen treats you to regional delicacies and seasonal specialties, while aromatic homemade schnapps can warm the heart if desired. Afterwards, you can sled or hike back down. Alternatively, you can continue to Gaistalalm (1,366 m) before heading back to the valley.
