Gratlspitze from Alpbach with Holzalm and Bischofer cheese alm
Scenic route with summit victory and magnificent all-around panorama
The hike starts in the village center of Alpbach and follows the Alpbach homeland trail A3 and then A23 to the Hösljoch with the Hösl chapel. From there, the ascent A27 begins towards Gratlspitze.
At the summit of Gratlspitze at 1899 m above sea level, you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view. The view extends from Wilder Kaiser, the Kitzbühel Alps, Zillertal and Tuxertal Alps to the Rofan and Karwendel ranges. It hardly gets more beautiful than this. You should spend some time at the summit cross or on the huge viewing bench and recharge your energy.
The descent from Gratlspitze via hiking trail no. 10 leads directly to the rustic mountain inn Holzalm. Tip: The healthy mountain air makes probably the best schnitzel on the mountain taste even better. Boosted, the hike continues on trail A18 over the Außerhauseralm towards Bischoferalm or the Bischofer cheese alm. Tip: Definitely try the products from the own cheese dairy! With cheese in your backpack, continue from here on trail A6 downhill again to the village center of Alpbach.
Note: pure walking time 5 h 30 min
