Together with our hiking guide Marianne, we’ll head to the oldest alpine hut in the Großarl Valley—a very special place for over 400 years. With no electricity, a clay floor, and a crackling fire, you’ll feel as if you’ve been transported to another era. Even today, the Großarltal’s traditional sour cheese is prepared in a copper kettle over the open fire. And a true rarity awaits you: smoked “Knetkäse”—a specialty found only here.

Guided summit hike to the Heukareck
The hike starts at the “Himmelsknoten” in Holzlehen. From here, a forest trail leads to the Niggeltalalm. Right by the stream in front of the hut, you can still see a well-preserved waterwheel that was once used for churning butter.
The trail then continues along a beautiful alpine path through the Niggeltal Valley, where many different flowers bloom, especially in early summer. The Igltal is also one of the areas in our valley with the most wildlife; with a little luck, you might even spot chamois in their natural habitat. The trail continues past the Tennköpfl up to the Heukareck. Once we reach the summit cross at 2,100 meters, we’ll be rewarded with an impressive panoramic view of the Salzach Valley and the surrounding mountains. The descent follows the same route as the ascent.
Meeting point: 9:00 a.m. at the hotel entrance
