This short and family-friendly hike starts either at the information hut at the entrance to Gaistal, where the path follows the Leutascher Ache and goes upstream until reaching the sign for Hämmermoosalm, or directly from the last (paid) parking lot at Salzbach (P3-5), which provides direct access to the hut's ascent.

The ascent is easy and follows a wide trail that gradually climbs until reaching the Hämmermoosalm at 1,417 meters. The cozy hut offers a wonderful view and serves delicious local specialties and seasonal dishes.

The return follows the same path back to the starting point. Alternatively, the hike can continue to the Gaistalalm (1,366 m) before heading back. A relaxed hike suitable for the whole family, rewarded with a cozy stop at the hut.
