Bettelwurfhütte - that is a grand stage high above Absam! Of the two approaches, the one described here is the direct option - a steep "black" mountain path, which due to its southern exposure should not be used in the midday heat.

Forecast for Absam

10-day forecast
One of the most beautiful hiking tours in Absam leads to the "Kleiner Bettelwurf", a striking peak with an altitude of 2,726 metres. The route begins in the centre of the village and leads through dense forests and across lush alpine meadows up to the summit. The ascent requires some fitness and sure-footedness, but rewards you with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain panorama.

For families with children, the hike to the "Hinterhornalm" is particularly suitable. This leisurely tour also starts in the centre of Absam and leads along an idyllic stream to the alpine pasture. There, children can watch animals or play in the playground while parents enjoy the peace and quiet.

Another popular hiking trail is the "Kugelfangweg", which starts in the village of Thaur and leads to Absam. This trail runs mostly level along the edge of the forest and repeatedly offers wonderful views of the Inn Valley as well as the Patscherkofel mountain opposite.

The best seasons for hiking in Absam are spring, summer and autumn. In spring the meadows blossom in bright colours and in autumn the leaves of the trees turn into a golden sea. In summer, on the other hand, the weather is usually pleasantly warm and invites you to go hiking.

Absam therefore offers a variety of hikes for every taste - whether challenging mountain tours or leisurely walks with children. The picturesque landscape, coupled with the numerous tourist attractions such as the Kleiner Bettelwurf or the Hinterhornalm, make Absam an ideal destination for nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts.

    Tolle Tour mit Mega Blicken. Wenn man wie ich Geröll, Fels und rauhe, karge Touren liebt, ist man hier genau richtig und noch schön alleine unterwegs. Man sollte allerdings in die Beschreibung aufnehmen, dass nach dem Murenabgang der untere Normalweg größtenteils verschüttet ist. Man steigt ab ca 15 min nach dem Bachbrückerl nur noch im Schotterfeld auf, bis dann endlich Fels und die ersten Seilversicherungen, also der normale T3 Weg losgehen. Die Richtung durch den Schotter ist zwar durch Holzpfosten markiert, aber es ist deutlich anstrengender, weil man halt immer bissl zurück rutscht, und es ist dadurch auch länger als die unten angegebenen 2,5 Stunden bis zur Bettelwurfhütte. 3 Stunden bei guter Fitness bis 3,5 Stunden bei durchschnittlicher Kondition ist eher realistisch, was man angesichts der Südausrichtung und der fehlenden Schattenplätze und fehlenden Auffüllmöglichkeiten für Wasser wissen sollte. Runter kann man aber dafür inzwischen gut im Geröll "absurfen", die Zeitangabe 2h 15 min stimmt m.E. daher immer noch.

    steiler Anstieg auf einen aussichtsreichen Gipfel, gut gehbarer Steig, noch immer sieht man die Brandauswirkungen von 2014. Hang entsprechend gesichert.

    Aussichtsreicher Rundweg durch das imposante Karwendel. Wir haben statt auf der Bettelwurfhütte auf dem Hallerangerhaus geschlafen. Im Sommer ausreichend Wasser mitnehmen.

    Immer wieder eine schöne Runde. Bin heute erstmals auf den Eibenkopf. Geht auch andersrum: steiler Aufstieg durchs Eibental und zurück über den Steig. Klasse Einkehr auf St Magdalena mit leckerer thailändischer Gemüsesuppe.

    Der sonnige April hat mich gelockt die Tour zu machen. Im Issanger war allerdings noch einiges an Altschnee und vom Issjöchl zu den Herrenhäusern auch noch Lawinenkegel zu durchstapfen.

    Boah, anstrengend, war froh, dass die Sonne erst am Gipfel rauskam. Der Abstieg ins Halltal und die Einkehr auf St. Magdalena waren ein tolle Belohnung.
