Grossarltal: 3-day hike via the Breitenebenalm and Ellmaualm to the Draugsteinalmen

Take the hiking taxi to Sonneggbrücke or a little further up to the parking area Breiteneben barrier. You can reach the Breitenebenalm via the forest road or the shortcuts through the forest. It is best known for its desserts such as apple strudel, Kaiserschmarrn, blackberry dumplings and Buchteln. In addition, hearty dishes such as roast pork, cheese gnocchi, fresh salads and alpine burgers are served – best enjoyed on the spacious sun terrace. There is a playground and small animals for children. The further ascent leads first along a hiking trail and then along the forest road to the Grosswildalm, where a hearty snack with homemade specialities awaits you. The route continues via the Spatalm and Henerbichlalm (both unmanaged) to the Ellmaualm. There you can enjoy not only a fantastic panorama of the surrounding mountains, but also a cosy evening in the hut, as this is where you will spend your first night. Alternatively, you can also stay overnight at the Weissalm.

Day 2:

After a hearty Alpine breakfast, you will continue on to the Gründegg, a true summit experience on this tour. The high-altitude hiking trail offers magnificent mountain panoramas. You can either stay on the high-altitude trail or descend to the Loosbühelalm, where you can fortify yourself with warm meals. The route then continues to the Filzmoosalm, where you can also stop for a traditional, tasty alpine snack. The trail continues uphill, past the Swiss stone pines so typical of the rear Ellmautal, to the Filzmoossattel. Right at the saddle is a particularly beautifully designed gentian, the symbol of the Salzburg Alpine Trail, which also includes the section to the Filzmoosalm. Looking back, you can see the majestic Draugstein towering above the Ellmautal. The descent continues to the Draugsteinalmen. There are two huts where you can stop for refreshments and overnight accommodation: the hut on the left is the Schrambachhütte and the one on the right is the Steinmannhütte.

Day 3:

After a hearty breakfast, the trail leads downhill to the Hallmoosalm (not open to the public). From here, you can take the hiking taxi back to Grossarl or continue hiking down into the valley to the district of Karteis, where you can take the postbus no. 540 back.
