Rule for hiking: Pay attention to the path! This is not so easy on this fascinating alpine pasture tour, given the impressive views of the Pitztal glaciers and the 3,353-metre-high Rofelewand.
Scenically beautiful alpine pasture tour at medium altitude on the Kaunergrat. Also recommended in the fall, due to the long opening hours of the Tiefentalalm and the abundance of larch trees in the area. If the snow conditions allow, you should definitely extend the tour via the easily accessible Kreuzjoch and / or Rappenkopf summits. The views of the mighty Rofelewand are fantastic. You should definitely hike from the Tiefentalalm into the beautiful high valley at the foot of the Rofelewand and the Gsallkopf. The alpine pasture circuit runs along forest paths and typical forest trails. Easily doable with children. Arzleralm and Neubergalm are also recommended as refreshment stops.
A steep trail leads from the starting point up to the catered mountain hut Arzler Alm. Once there, turn left onto a trail towards Rappenkopf until you reach the Kreuzjoch turnoff. Then walk to past a hunting lodge. Descend via Tiefentalalm mountain hut and continue along the agricultural road back down to your starting point.
