Attention: The Wetterstein Hut remains closed until further notice.
The Pasture Paradise Gaistal Valley truly lives up to its name. Meadows, forests, and the Wetterstein mountains in perfect harmony, lively streams, and top-notch culinary delights make for an unforgettable hiking experience. This route, certified with the Austrian Hiking Seal of Quality, leads you through diverse landscapes to two of the most beautiful alpine huts in the region. And when you happen to meet a grazing cow, a marmot, or even a chamois along the way, the word paradise no longer feels like an exaggeration.
This special tour starts directly at the Stupfer car park, where the trail leads left uphill into the forest. Here’s where you leave behind your daily routine and worries for the next four hours and prepare mentally for the upcoming ascent. You’ll climb about 400 metres towards the impressive rock faces of the Wetterstein mountains. Then you can choose: either take the gentle forest road No. 9 leading directly to the Wangalm, or follow the steeper trail on the left. The latter passes the currently closed Wettersteinhütte, from where it’s just a short walk to the Wangalm. This cosy
