Description

Day 2 - From the Falkenhütte to the Engalm or the Binsalm
After an extensive breakfast we return to the Spielissjoch and below the spectacular north faces of Laliderer to the Hohljoch.
The fit and sure-footed hikers now cross the Lalidersalm and the Gumpenjöchl on Gamsjoch and return to the Hohljoch, from where they descend like the other hikers on a good hiking trail to the Engalmen.
Take your time and have a look at the alpine village Eng. It is the largest alpine village in Europe and its natural beauty cannot be surpassed. Alternatively, you can continue on to the Binsalm and stay overnight.
From the Engalm via the panoramic path you can reach the Binsalm in approx. 1 hour, with a magnificent panoramic view of the large maple ground. You can also choose the forest trail with a walking time of approx. 40 minutes (luggage transport possible). This shortens the stage on day 3.
