Easy paths around the Walder ridgeAlpine hikes with rustic dining options are always very welcome among connoisseurs. It is no surprise that the beautifully located Walderalm is often quite lively. The atmosphere at the Ganalm in the wild Vomper Loch is noticeably quieter and less sun-drenched. With a bit of stamina, we can undertake an extensive circular tour and discover very different facets in the southeastern corner of the Karwendel.

With a view of "two worlds"The Vomper Loch has a lonely and rugged character. Only a few challenging paths, which are increasingly falling victim to erosion, lead into its wild heart. Nevertheless, we are allowed a glimpse into this impressive corner of the Karwendel. On the Walder ridge, high above the valley floor with the Vomper stream and opposite the peaks of the Hinterautal-Vomper chain, an easy path leads via the Ganalm to the Walderalm. From here, a magnificent landscape stretches almost two thousand meters vertically in front of us. After the Walderalm, the Inntal valley forms the civilized counterpart, so to speak. At the rest bench on the Walder Joch, we can turn our heads at will and experience both.The Ganalm, often described as one of the most rustic alpine pastures in the Karwendel, has ceased catering since 2021 until further notice. However, there are efforts (2024 fundraising campaign) to change this again.
