Family-friendly hike with a manageable number of elevation meters high above the Ultental. Alternatively, you can also take the additional elevation to Peilstein, which is quite demanding for families.

Three Alms Hike

The municipality of Ulten holds a true hiker's paradise among forests, meadows, alpine pastures and mountains. The green landscape is adorned by sun-baked, traditional farms, lovingly covered with shingles.

A beautiful hike begins at the Zoggler reservoir and leads on easily accessible forest paths to the Holzschlag Alm. On shady forest paths it continues to the Pfandlalm. Through rustic forests, past watercourses, the hiking trails wind their way to the Spitzner Alm. From there you can enjoy an outstanding panorama over the Arzkarsee, a reservoir in the middle of the Ulten mountains. All kinds of regional delicacies await you at the alp.

Haselgruber Lakes and Rabbi Yoch

Numerous hiking tours lead to the Haselgruber Lakes and Rabbi Joch. These hikes don't enjoy great popularity for nothing: The paths are steep, but mostly paved. In addition, you can take a break in numerous huts along the way and enjoy the view over the valley. The deep blue Haselgruber Lake invites you to pause. Numerous hikers and mountain bikers take a break there to enjoy the beauty of the lake.

Hiking on the Schwemmalm

Numerous hiking trails start at the mountain station of the Schwemmalm. Families with children should opt for the Schwemmalm circular trail. It reveals a magnificent panoramic view and leads along the forest border. A good physical condition is not required for this route. With a length of just under four kilometers, this is one of the most popular hikes for families or those who are not so good on foot.

For those who prefer to stay down in the valley, the Ultner Höfeweg explores the quaint farms around St. Nikolaus and the ancient larches that are up to 2000 years old. The hike is ideally suited for families with children and can be shortened in many places.

Excursion to St. Walburg

In St. Walburg is the seat of the municipality of Ulten, where you can get a lot of touristic information. From the village you have an unobstructed view of the surrounding mountains and the Zoggler reservoir. On a hot summer day you can visit the cool parish church or refresh yourself in the outdoor swimming pool with a view of the Peilstein and Ultner Hochwart. The town is a central starting point for hiking tours. You should not miss the following hikes:
  • Ultner Talweg: circular trail with a length of 24 kilometers, leads through the forest and reveals views of numerous lakes.
  • Seerunde in St. Walburg: view of the reservoir during the entire hiking route
  • Schusterhüttl round from Sankt Gertraud: Offers impressive views into the valley and challenging hiking trails
  • Aussichtspunktrunde: Offers a play of colors at the Fischersee lake in the sunshine and invites you to hike with the whole family

    Wunderschöne Rundwanderung, die aber an einigen Stellen Trittsicherheit und Schwindelfreiheit benötigt. Auch wer unter Höhenangst leidet, sollte sich gut überlegen, ob das für ihn das Richtige ist. Abwechslungsreiches Gelände mit z. T. anspruchsvolleren Anstiegen, aber durchaus machbar. Jede einzelne Alm hat ihren eigenen Charm und lädt zu einer gemütlichen Rast ein. Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Tag und haben die Tour genossen.

    Eine schöne und abwechslungsreiche Tour. Es gibt zwar einige Passagen auf Teer, das stört aber nicht weiter. Gerade der nordseitige Hang bietet viele schöne Ausblicke und macht seinem Namen alle Ehre. Die Südseite verläuft mehr im Wald und es kann im Schatten schon kühl bzw.kalt sein.

    Landschaftlich sehr schöne und aussichtsreiche Tour, im Aufstieg über Ortler-Hühnerspiel ein Steig zum Genießen: Heidelbeeren, lichter Lärchenwald, Gehen auf einem unschwierigen Grat, quasi alles Postkartenmotive. Innere Falkomaialm liegt toll im Talschluss, urig-gemütlich. Auch wegen eingeschränkten Sichten (Hochnebel, aufliegende Wolken) haben wir auf den Peilstein verzichtet, den man noch gut mitnehmen kann, dann würde es schon eine richtige Tagestour werden.

    Tolle Tour, den Hinweis „oder Sie umgehen das Eis und wandern über die darüber liegenden Felsen“ sollte man aber getrost ignorieren: Diese „Route“ ist steil, inzwischen sackbröselig und entsprechend sehr unangenehm. Also auf jeden Fall Steigeisen mitnehmen und nicht über dem Gletscher rumwursteln!

    Aktuell noch einiges an Altschnee auf dem Weg zur Blauen Schneid. Am Grat gab es anscheinend mehrere Bergstürze. Neue Wegmarkierungen und Abbruchstellen deuten darauf hin. Auf dem Grat sind mittlerweile heikle und brüchige Stellen zu überwinden. 600m vor dem Gipfel befindet sich in einer Scharte ein ca. 5m breites Altschneefeld in Form eines Satteldach. Absturzgefahr! Wir sind hier wieder umgekehrt weil uns die Stelle ohne zusätzliches Seil zu gefährlich schien und der Schnee darunter einbrach.

    Super schöne und aussichtsreiche Wanderung :) Allerdings ist die angegebene Parkmöglichkeit nicht wirklich praktikabel für normale PKWs. Wer kein SUW hat muss im Tal bei Sankt Gertraud parken, und zu den Flatschhöfen hochwandern (143)
