    The beginner-friendly Hofalm loop starts at the Filzmoos Adventure Gateway (Erlebnisportal Filzmoos) and leads through the picturesque village centre, passing the toll station and heading into the impressive mountain landscape around the Hofalms. Following the paved toll road, the route climbs gently and steadily to the junction for Oberhofalm/Unterhofalm.
    The gravel road takes you to the cosy Unterhofalm, before continuing on to the Oberhofalm. Here, traditional mountain huts invite you to take a relaxing break and enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding peaks. This varied route is ideal for leisure cyclists and families looking for an enjoyable ride with stunning alpine scenery. The tour then follows the toll road downhill back to Filzmoos and the starting point.
