High up in the Hirzer hiking area. Here on our alm at 1970 metres above sea level we will be happy to indulge you with a freshly prepared apple pancake or a bacon dumpling soup after a hike or lovely tour of the summits.

We will be pleased to provide you with suggested routes for hiking to the alm.
