You start in the village center in Grossarl. Then you cycle along the cycle path. After the Grossarler Genuss, you cycle upwards.

You pass several houses and farms, then you reach the Sonneggbrücke, which is a very popular starting point for many hikes.

You cycle along the forestry where you pass the Hochbruckhütte. At the crossing, you turn left towards Unterwandalm.

On the Unterwandalm, the people often sing and play music. Of course, you can enjoy self-made delicacies.

You can already reach the Karseggalm from the Unterwandalm and it is easily accessible via a path. The Karseggalm is the oldest managed alp in Grossarltal. A look inside the alp is definitely worthwhile. There is still an open fireplace and the floor is made of clay. Strengthened and refreshed, you can either return along the same path or take the forest path south. 

Author’s recommendation

You can elongate this tour towards Maurachalm and Karseggalm.
