Hiking

A promising round, which is also peppered with a few wonderful refreshment stops, awaits you between Lengau and the end of the Glemmtal valley. A tour that is particularly suitable for connoisseurs, even if there is a steep climb in between.

By bus (saalbach.com/de/service/infektur/postbus-wanderbus_a_1556) or by car you first make your way to Lengau with its train station on the valley head train. This is where the signs for the “Talschluss Höhenweg” start, which will accompany you on your tour from now on. In addition, always by your side: proud mountains, such as the Staffkogel, Tristkogel, Gamshag and Schusterkogel. You don't climb it, but you can enjoy its sight.

A forest road takes you to Henlabgraben, then a narrow hiking trail up to a viewing bench above the Forsthofalm. The hut invites you to take a break until you reach the highest point of the path a short distance after it.

Via the managed Ossmannalm and the rustic and also managed Saalalm, you slowly but surely take the "homeward direction" again. You not only have the chance to fill your stomach with regional delicacies, but you can also pay a visit to the high ropes course at the Lindlingalm and the Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps. You hike one last alpine pasture, the Stefflalm - then you are already back at your starting point.

Highest Point of the Talschluss Trail

Highlight • Summit

The view offers a wide panorama over Saalbach and Hinterglemm. Those who start early enough will have the Glemmtal all to themselves before other guests arrive on the terrace.

Saalalm Hut and Valley End

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A wonderful green patch of earth, where you wouldn't be surprised if Heidi danced down the lush green meadows somewhere.

Talschluss Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Small chapel at the head of the valley right next to the large water playground, a paradise for children. Highly frequented by the Talschlusshütte and large suspension bridge with treetop path. Still highly recommended with children.

June 4, 2025,🇦🇹 ⛰️ Auf dem Glemmtaler Talschluss-Höhenwanderweg über die Golden Gate Bridge 🌉 zum Baumzipfelweg 🧙🌲 - Tag 6A

As an unofficial treetop, treetop, and canopy trail tester 🦺🌲 (the older ones among you will remember 😉), it was time to get back to work and take a closer look at the Alpine version 🧐. With the "test location" located at the beautiful end of the Glemmtal valley near Saalbach-Hinterglemm, a suspension bridge 🌉 🤩 even included, and a …

July 3, 2023,San Francisco, nein! Die Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps

The hike starts at the parking lot in Lengau and runs slightly uphill in the valley to the Baumzipfelweg and the Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps. It is 200 meters long and 42 meters high. Walking on the bridge is a pleasure for all those who like things to move. On the other side begins the highest treetop path …

After the break in the rain, we set off on a hike that was at the top of our to-walk list ;)

In Lengau, we start straight uphill and soon come to a beautiful, rooty, stony path with magnificent views. How convenient that the weather is actually "bad" today, but still nice and warm. We even see wild horses again.

Please visit all Helga at the Forsthofalm! She is doing a great job there! She manages the alp without electricity and cooks delicious dishes on a charcoal stove. She also processes some of the milk from the cows herself. Really recommendable 👍🏻😋

July 3, 2022,Über die Forsthofalm zur Ossmannalm und wieder zurück

The weather meant well again today and the 🌞 seemed merciless. We set off and took the hiking bus to Lengau. From here it went steadily uphill to the Forsthofalm. Often thought on the way, why am I doing something like this to myself 😰. But when we got to the top, we were compensated. We were on a very …
