It’s all about pure nature, jaw-dropping scenery, and plenty of fun for both kids and adults. Perfect for little explorers, this hike is an ideal mix of excitement and togetherness. So pack your backpacks and get ready to be swept away by the magic of the Gaistal!
Stage 1:
Day 1 starts in Leutasch with a climb of around 550 meters up to two picture-perfect alpine huts: the Wettersteinhütte and Wangalm. Both huts offer breathtaking views, mouthwatering Tyrolean dishes, and cozy overnight stays, including the charming “Kuschlhitte” (snuggle hut at the Wettersteinhütte). The trail is wonderfully varied, winding through forested sections before opening up to reveal stunning views of the Hohe Munde and surrounding peaks. With plenty of space for games and laughter along the way, the kids are guaranteed to stay happy and motivated.
Stage 2:
After the effort of Day 1, Day 2 takes it a bit easier, with fewer climbs and more time to soak up the incredible scenery of the Wetterstein Mountains. This stage is known for its wildlife, so keep an eye out for deer or marmots along the way! The day’s goal is the Rotmoosalm, perched at 2,030 meters and the highest hut in the Wetterstein range. The Rotmoosalm is a real insider tip among locals and easily one of the most stunning spots in the region. Whether it’s the incredible views, the hearty food, or the warm hospitality of the hosts, the atmosphere here is simply unforgettable. And for the little ones? There’s even a playground to keep them entertained.
Stage 3:
Day 3 is all about the descent, but there’s no rush. Take your time, soak in the views, and enjoy the final moments of this magical adventure. Before heading back to the parking lot or bus stop, make sure to stop by the Hämmermoosalm. This beloved spot, with its gorgeous sun terrace, was crowned Gault&Millau’s “Alpine Hut of the Year” in 2024 – and for good reason! After one last delicious snack, the path leads gently out through the Gaistal Valley. As you walk, take a moment to relive the highlights of the last few days: the breathtaking views, the little adventures, and that unbeatable feeling of having shared something truly special as a family. To finish off, the Kneipp facility at Salzbach invites you to refresh your tired feet and let your hiking experience end on a relaxed note.
