Tour description:

The hike begins at the mountain station of the Hochplattenbahn and leads past the Staffn-Alm, which not only offers the usual alpine food, over the somewhat steep climb to the start of the circular trail "Bergwalderlebnisweg Staffen". On the forest road we go right, following the hiking signs with the destinations Rottauer Moier-Alm and Hefter-Alm. After about 900 m the hiking signs lead us to the right and after another 300 m we reach the turnoff to the left to the Rottauer Moier-Alm, which is 1000 m high. It invites you to have a snack or coffee and cake. If we follow the main path, however, we reach the Hefter-Alm, which is 880 m high, after about 1000 m. Delicious delicacies invite you to have a snack. The destinations Rachl-Alm and Staffn-Alm and also the mountain station as the destination of the hike are mentioned on the hiking signs. Across a meadow, past the Hufnagl-Alm, which is not managed, you reach the Rachl-Alm, which is 920 m high. Here, too, you can enjoy traditional alpine snacks, as well as coffee and cake. From the Rachl-Alm, the hiking signs indicate two different routes. The first route, which is indicated directly at the Alm, is a little shorter, but you have to use a "crossing" at the end, which requires surefootedness. Both routes lead over the relatively steep so-called winter hiking trail to the starting point at the mountain station. Refreshment options: Rottauer Moier-Alm, Hefter Alm, Rachl-Alm, Staffn Alm (please note the opening times)
