Along the route, several benches invite you to linger and enjoy the peace and quiet and the snow-covered nature to the fullest.

If you want to take a little more time, you can extend the hike with a detour to the Gaistalalm before returning to the starting point through the snow-covered landscape.
Please note: There is no toboggan rental at the Hämmermoosalm. If you want to go tobogganing, you should bring your own sled and pull it up yourself. Alternatively, toboggans can be rented from various sports shops in the region.
