Mountain hikes Juifenalm

Gries im Sellrain / Stubaier Alpen
Difficulty ratings: easy
Route length: 9.5 km
Duration: 4:18 h

Mental ascent aid: the prospect of a cosy refreshment stop. The Juifenalm in the Lüsenstal valley is particularly motivating with its excellent regional specialities and magnificent views.

Tour character

Where there is a fast toboggan run in winter, in summer you can take a leisurely walk from the car park in Lüsenstal along the forest path and forest tracks for around two hours uphill until you reach the Juifenalm after the last bend. It has everything that makes a mountain hut a worthwhile destination: a cosy parlour and sun terrace, excellent food made from regional products, a fantastic mountain panorama and lively ‘alpine pasture staff’ consisting of cattle, horses, goats, pigs and chickens.

Description

The idyllic Juifenalm is located at 2000 metres above sea level and can be easily reached via a wide forest path. From the paid car park, the trail takes around two hours at a leisurely pace.

Once at the top, hikers can expect a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains. As a reward, there are home-made delicacies, which are mainly made from regional products.

The trail initially leads through the forest. An alternative route is the Sommersteig trail, which also offers beautiful views. The way back is either along the same path or you can switch to the other path for a new perspective.

The alpine pasture is not only a popular destination for hikers and bikers, but is also home to numerous cows and horses in summer. In winter, the route is transformed into a toboggan run, offering fun for the whole family.
