One moment you are in the wide Inn Valley, the next you are standing in front of the wild Karwendel peaks in amazement. The Walder Alm is a real dream place, the contrast between the lovely alpine landscape and the ruggedness of the Karwendel is almost unbelievable. And such a rustic alpine pasture that you almost feel like you're in a heidi movie. In spring, the alpine meadows are in full crocus bloom.
On a partly steep forest path, you reach the alpine meadows of the Walder Alm, which is strenuous but not difficult, and suddenly the view of the Karwendel becomes clear. Towards the south, you can see far across the Inn Valley into the Tux Alps. In spring, you can enjoy the south-facing aspect and the splendor of the crocuses on the alpine meadows. In summer, the tour can be extended via the Garnalm or even to the Hundskopf (short via ferrata). The Walder Alm offers excellent food, the Kaspressknödel dumplings are known far beyond Gnadenwald. The ascent to the Alm can also be shortened via the toll road to the Hinterhornalm (note the opening times of the toll road).
From St. Michael on the Gnadenwald plateau up to the Walderalm, there opens a view of the Karwendel and the Inn Valley.
Parking options are directly at the starting point.
