Mountain hikes Ganalm-Walderalm

Geselhaus / Karwendel
Difficulty ratings: difficult
Route length: 15.4 km
Duration: 4:00 h

The Walderalm is enthroned on a high plateau in front of the Gleirsch-Halltal mountain range as if on a stage, while the Ganalm is probably the most rustic alpine pasture in the Karwendel. They are the rest stops on this superlative alpine hike.

Tour character

A challenging tour from St. Michael in Gnadenwald via Ganalm and Walderalm, around the ridge of the Walder Joch. 18-kilometre hike, with a break and snack waiting at the mountain huts. Visual treat along the way: fascinating views of the Karwendel and Vomper Loch. The easiest Walderalm variant is recommended for tired legs : from Gnadenwald by car via the toll road to the Hinterhornalm, from there on foot on an easy path in around 30 minutes to the finish.
