Hiking and Biking in Summer

Almenparadies Gaistal

The Almenparadies Gaistal in Leutasch presents itself in the summer at its best: Nestled between imposing peaks and gentle alpine meadows, the valley offers ideal conditions for hiking and biking. Whether it’s a leisurely round or a sporty tour – everyone can find their favorite path here. Numerous rustic huts and alpine pastures invite guests to take a break and indulge in regional delicacies amid a unique natural backdrop. The Gaistal is the perfect retreat for nature lovers who seek relaxation, activity, and true Tyrolean alpine idyll in the summer.

The magnificent high valley is, on the one hand, the realm of alpine pastures, and on the other, one with pristine and unmistakable mountain nature. Here, there are still expansive habitats for roe deer, chamois, and deer, while the golden eagle nests in the walls of the Wetterstein mountains. The Gaistal was also one of the favorite places of the poet Ludwig Ganghofer, who had his hunting lodge above the Tillfußalm. With his famous novel "The Silence in the Woods", he has created a worthy memorial for the valley. Many other works were created in his hunting lodge "Hubertus" – a retreat where he found tranquility, sought relaxation, and pursued his passion for hunting.
