Past the Sonnenalm, Halseralm and Rösteralm, you can enjoy the alpine idyll. Optionally, you can hike on to the Wiesmahdalm. A magnificent view of the Dachstein massif awaits you at the summit. The descent leads along a leisurely forest path back to the valley station. Total time: approx. 3 hours, ideal for families and leisure hikers.
