Up into the mountains! Admittedly – stamina is needed to manage the ascent. But the reward is plentiful. After a good hour of walking through the mountain forest, we are completely free from everyday life and enjoy the wintery high mountains. The sunny high valley offers beautiful views of the nearby Tannheimer Mountains. At 1227 meters lies the Vilser Alpe, which offers regional delicacies as an additional reward. Locals often make their way back lively with a sled ride on toboggans.

Author’s recommendation

Those who undertake the beautiful hike to the Vilser Alm should definitely stop by the Alm and sample regional delicacies from the alpine kitchen!

Vilser Alm

Roadbook

400 meters of elevation must be mastered, but the way up to the Vilser Alpe involves no difficulties: A wide, cleared forest road leads up into the wintery mountains. From the parking lot on the edge of town, we hike in wide loops through the lonely mountain forest. After the first ascent, it flattens out; to the left, we look into the quarry of the Vilser cement plant. Along the iced-over Kühbach, it goes up to the Vilser Alpe on the open alpine meadows. Here, a spectacular view of the Brentenjoch and the Sebenspitze awaits. The Vilser Alp is run all year round.
