Großarl: Mooslehenalm - Viehhausalm - Niggeltalalm

You reach the starting point of this route by cycling from the center of Großarl along the valley bike path towards St. Johann (approx. 3.7 km) and then turning left towards Himmelsknoten. The "Himmelsknoten" is a monument from the old scout guild, which has been holding its forum with us in the Großarl Valley for over 40 years. A forest road leads to the Mooslehenalm. The scent of fresh blueberry dumplings already wafts in the air.

After a refreshment, the path continues to the Viehhausalm - a wonderful view over the Großarl Valley opens up. The alpine farmers pamper all hungry hikers with homemade delicacies. Here children will have their fun. 

Next is the Niggeltalalm (Igltalalm). A beautiful water wheel, formerly used for churning butter, stands at the stream in front of the hut. This alpine farm is a paradise for children - a stream and a small pond, a large playground as well as cats, dogs, ducks...

The Igltal is one of the wildest areas in our valley. If you are lucky, you may catch sight of a marmot or some chamois.

Return goes back to the Mooslehenalm and then back into the valley.
