Hiking holiday in the
unique natural scenery

At the hotel, we will be picked up by the hiking taxi. It will take us up to Schütt farm at a height of 1600 m. The hike will take us to Mooskopf - Wildbühel and via its anticline to Weißenhof farm. After a short rest, we will return via the Almweg to the mid-station at the Galler guesthouse and from there back to the valley.

Tip for families: The taxi has space for pushchairs, and the route along Forststraße to Weißenhof farm is a suitable hike. From there, you can return to Schütt farm to be collected by the hiking taxi again in the afternoon.

Drive towards the head of the valley for 8 km. Park there and start your hike to the largest lake in the eastern Alps. You will be travelling upwards along serpentine roads, on a rocky but well-maintained path and across a waterfall. Walk to the mountain hut along the edge of the lake and from there to the shelter at a height of 1860 m above the lake. After a well-deserved rest, return to the valley the same way you came.

Tappenkar Lake always looks calm and picturesque, but it contains some dangerous eddies and maelstroms. From the shelter, you'll have a breathtaking view of the lake, the cragged peaks and splendid brooks. You will love it!

To the west of the valley, a route takes you across the Peilstein meadows to Palfen and onto Hirschleitstraße. 200 m before you reach the farm, the path enters a woodland where you should take route no. 5 across Öbriststraße to the Kleinarl mountain hut.

On your way back, take the same route until Sauwaldstraße (19). Beyond the Kesselbach junction, go via Reitlehen, Kesselfall and the adventure park back to the village.

Feel the calm of the alpine meadows at Steinkar farm! We will take the hiking taxi to the mid-station at the Galler guesthouse. From there, our route will be through the woodland to Moos farm. We will continue on a beautiful path to Weißenhof farm and after a short stop we'll carry on across the alpine meadows below Mosereck at a height of 1960 m above Steinkar farm.

This is a great place to eat, drink and rest at a height of 1700 m. The route back to the valley will take another two hours of hiking. If you have any energy left, you can hike from Steinkar farm to the Blue Lake (route up to Ennskraxn). The smaller lake has its own island, and its colour can range from crystal clear to navy blue. A glorious and restorative prospect!

Ennskraxn, Kleinarl's 'local mountain', has a height of 2410 m. If you are staying in Kleinarl Valley, this is a climb that you mustn't miss. The hike is very challenging and takes a whole day. You must be surefooted and experienced with mountains. Your reward will be an amazing view - it has long been nicknamed "Prospect mountain", and for good reason.

Start of the hike: past the church and along Salzburger Almenweg 714. Past Ennskraxn station on to Sennenbründl, towards Steinkar farm (route 90). Along the beautiful "Blue Lake" and the rock wall to the Nordwestkamm, then on to the summit.

The descent will follow the same route.

Follow in the footsteps of Karl-Heinrich Waggerl and start your hike in Wagrain. The best way to do this is by taking the Postbus. This will take you from the Kirchboden district in the Flying Mozart to Kogel Farm at a height of 1880 m above sea level. On your way up, enjoy the view over Kleinarl Valley with Wagrain and St. Johann. You will be facing the V-shaped valley typical of the region south of Salzburg with its mountain farms up to a height of 1500 m.

The first metres to the Wagrain building are easy going. After that, you will be climbing steeply upwards to the Grießenkareck. This summit is the highest point in Wagrain at 1991 m. After the summit, you will continue along the high road towards Frauenalmsattel, Schütt farm. The Betterlsteig is another route option. This route will take you past the Wagrain building below the ridge, past the Saukarkopf and onto the Ahornkopf to the Fürstwand. In clear weather, you will have a panoramic view 50 km into the distance. After you reach the Kleinarl lift, take it in the direction of the valley to Schütt farm. From there, you can walk over mountain meadows to the Pröll mountain guesthouse. This is the birthplace of the world renowned ski racer Annemarie Moser-Pröll. From there, it is only another half hour along Güterweg back into the valley, or you can take the shortcut through the woodland directly to Hotel Guggenberger.

This hike starts at the tourism office in the centre of Kleinarl. The route takes you through shady woodland and colourful meadows up to the summit of Penkkopf. From there, you can enjoy a picturesque 360° alpine panorama. You return via Kurzegg farm - take a refreshment or enjoy home-made specialities on its sunny patio before returning to the valley.
