An inconspicuous summit? Maybe so! But when viewed from above, the Faltegartenköpfl boasts spectacular views and gently undulating alpine rose meadows.
For the circular hike from the Sattele, first directly to the summit and back via the Feldringalm, or via the forest path to the Feldringalm and on to the summit. The Feldringalm is a great place to take a breather with fantastic views, topped off by the Faltegartenköpfl (2,184 m). The hike is easy to medium-difficult and is also suitable for children with mountain experience.
This hike starts just past the car park where you'll find a signposted and relatively flat forest trail that leads to the Gasthof Marlstein guesthouse. From there, a hiking trail continues up to the Grünwaslkreuz cross at an altitude of 2,027 metres above sea level before leading over a grassy ridge to the summit cross on Faltegartenköpfl peak, where you will be rewarded with fantastic views of the Mieming Plateau and the Inn Valley. The route back down leads though the extensive "Feldringer Böden" alpine meadows to the Feldringalm mountain hut and then continues along a forest road back to the starting point.
