If you are already there (no matter what the weather or what time of year) you should take it easy and walk around the lake. Great views and perspectives - very varied. And not only the flora, but also the fauna there is full of surprises.

A beautiful hike in almost any season. The Alm is compulsory, except on Mondays, when it is closed!

Monday is a day of rest, meaning peace and quiet from tourists but also no food at the mountain pasture there. The sunbeds invite you to take a break and listen to the pleasant sounds of cowbells.
