Selected alternatives for you
    The sensory path is built around the five elements: fire, water, earth, wood, and metal. At each station, you can experience an element playfully.

    From the panoramic cable car mountain station, the sensory path can be reached in about half an hour. At the first station, you go through the primeval forest to a wooden tower. This represents the beginning, the rising sun, and spring. The second station consists of a pyramid facing south. Inside you can recognize the assigned element fire. In the middle of the pyramid, there is a fireplace and seating options. Another special feature is the viewing platform on the roof with a view over the valley. In the middle of the sensory path, you reach a stone snail, which represents the earth element. The path to the herb pavilion (element iron) leads past a lovingly designed herb garden. Once there, you can guess the scent of various herbs. That probably sounds easier than it is! The last station represents the element water. Here you experience the constant change between calm and power. 

    Author’s recommendation

    The trees of the primeval forest at the beginning of the sensory path probably date back to the Ice Age and are therefore 500-600 years old.

    Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Sie ins Großarltal kommen. Je nach Schneelage und Wetter im Frühjahr öffnen die meisten Almhütten bei uns ab Anfang/Mitte Juni. Ein paar Almen die eine niedrigere Lage haben, öffnen bei guter Wetterlage auch schon ab Mitte/Ende Mai. Die Loosbühelalm öffnet als erste Hütte am 09.Mai.
