Tour description

Gentle alpine hike for the whole family – experience nature, views and enjoyment on the Maiskogel.

The hut tour on the Maiskogel is an easy, family-friendly hike that begins with the ascent to the mountain station. From there, the well-maintained trail leads through quiet forest sections to the original Unterbergalm. The trail continues with a gentle ascent to the Alpengasthof Glocknerblick. Hike downhill to the Maiskogel Alm Ranch with its petting zoo – a highlight for children. Before taking the cable car back down to the valley, it is worth stopping for a leisurely break at the Saulochalm.
