Puntleider See Alm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

rustic, old Alm. Very dear hosts. If you like it, you can spend the night there in the hay store for very little money.
A detour to the Puntleider See is very worthwhile!

A fantastic tour, even if we didn't want to hike as much. We had chosen a different tour from the program. It was only supposed to be 2 km there and 2 km back, but the description forgot to mention that you had to climb about 700 meters in altitude from the parking lot.

Anton drives us to the hiking car park above Grasstein, and from there, in glorious weather, we hike for two hours up a steep, rocky, and root-strewn forest path to Puntleider See.
