Hutterer Alpine Meadows Circular Trail (Circular Hiking World Hinterstoder)

The alpine meadow trail starts at the cable car mountain station or the parking area of the Höss Toll Road on the Hutterer Plateau at approx. 1.400 m above sea level. A well maintained farm road passes the bottom station of the 6-person chair lift, the Höss Express, and leads quickly uphill to the west. Enjoy your first uninterrupted and breathtaking view across the alpine panorama of the Tote Gebirge mountain range from the “Hutterer Lake”. Continue through a clear larch forest to the most western point of the area with stunning views over dolomite towers to the alpine huts of the Hutterer Alm (alpine meadow) at approx. 1.600 m above sea level. Should you decide to turn back, then follow the path leading eastwards down to the Edtbauernalm (alpine hut & meadow) or continue a level up to the alpine meadows at approx. 1.800m above sea level. From there you can take the Höss Express for a quick and easy descent back to the Hutterer Plateau. If you prefer to walk, continue along the same path back to the Hutterer Alm and follow the markings to the Edtbauernalm, along a narrow path leading through the larch forest at first, followed by the pine trees, lift areas and ski slopes crossing diagonally downhill. From the centre of the Hutterer Plateau follow the path westwards back to your starting point.
