Hiking

No matter in what form, water exerts a certain fascination on hikers of all ages. It invites you to play, cool off or just watch. This varied hike takes you and your kids past waterfalls to the Loferer Alm.

The starting point of the tour is from Lofer with the Almbahn I up to the Gasthaus Loderbichl. From the mountain station you follow the well-developed adventure trail, which climbs steadily and is equipped with exciting puzzle stations. You hike through the forest and over small clearings to the rushing waterfalls in the Würmbachtal. You can refresh yourself and take a break at numerous small pools.

Via the Bimalm you finally reach the spacious Loferer Alm, where refreshments and a large alpine playground await. The lift takes you back down to the valley in comfort.

Not easy to walk, but worth the effort. Children between the ages of seven and twelve will have fun. Tip: take swimming trunks and towels for the children.

The adventure playground at the Almbahn II summit station has numerous play equipment: swings, slides, cable car, water features and more. After a hike through the Loferer Almenwelt, the adventure playground is a great way to end the children before they take the Almbahn back down to Lofer into the valley.

On our third day of vacation, we finally headed up the mountain, up to the Almenwelt Lofer at 1,350 m. 🏔🇦🇹🐄 When we arrived at the top of the mountain station, we were greeted by a hailstorm, so we postponed our planned summit tour until the next day and first took the waterfall path (No. 50) down to the middle station. The short stage with an elevation gain of 360 meters is actually advertised from bottom to top, but you can also easily do it from top to bottom. We were very happy about this decision when we passed all the exhausted hikers climbing. 🥵 Unlike we expected, the hike was super varied, through forest and meadows, along the stream, to the rushing waterfalls. Simply great!!🤩🌳🌿💧🥾 After the sun came out briefly at the highlight waterfall (perfect for the photos, thank you!) we were then surprised by a heavy rain, so that we could actually have walked through the waterfall. :) 💧💧 After a short break with shelter in the forest, we were able to continue the great tour relatively dry until we were finally able to stop at the middle station at the Loderbich Alm, and even enjoyed the sun and delicious apple strudel on the terrace.😋🌞 PS: My collection for vacation in the Salzburg Saalachtal: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/collection/2680422/-salzburger-saalachtal-lofer

Descent from the mountain station to the mid-station via the waterfall path – very beautiful and very busy. Unfortunately, the Almsee lake is currently being dredged, and I've only seen some nice photos of it from the past.

Vacationing in Lofer (AT), a blind booking turns out to be a gold mine. First day, take the gondola to the middle station and then up the waterfall path. I can't add anything to the many praises. A hiking trail to fall to your knees.

A very nice hike down the mountain, with many impressions.
