Snowshoe Hikes

Snow Shoe Trail mountain pasture Klosteralm

According to oral tradition, after the dissolution of the Carthusian monastery of Allerengelsberg in 1782, the farmed Alpine pastures of Klosteralm at 2,152 m became the property of a number of families in Certosa/Karthaus who set up a syndicate which has thirty members today. The farm was only accessible by a narrow mountain path until a transport cable car was built in 1959. Thanks to the avalanche barrier beneath the Kreuzspitze, a road link was provided as an “ancillary benefit”. Due to its steep and stony pastures, the farm has been used almost exclusively as a typical farm for young cattle.

Itinerary
From the public car park in Certosa - there is also a bus stop here - we take a left past the village community hall towards the forest. We continue up along the steep and well-marked trail that has a few bends to the Klosteralpe hut. After about two hours of a strenuous hike, the forest opens up and you can see the first green pastures. At the farm we are rewarded with a superb view of the Pfossental Valley opposite and the many 3,000 m-peaks in the Texel Group.
