Description

A place in the sun, lots of dark wood, easily accessible and open all year round - this sums up the advantages of the Nisslalm. The fact that hot and cold food is available all day is thanks to the innkeeper Albertina, who holds the fort here 365 days a year at an altitude of 2,054 m. The views into the Sulztal make the trip a high alpine experience. From the Gries parking lot you follow the path towards Sulztalalm for about half an hour, then branch off right (signposted) and climb the pine forest in evenly inclined switchbacks. Finally the forest thins out - on a sunny balcony lies the 130-year-old Nisslalm. Due to the north-facing location the slope of the Nisslalm is relatively snow-safe for a long time, usually from early December to mid-April. The descent is made on the same path or by sled.

Please expect toboggan traffic coming up during the ascent!!
