Magical moments in the Tyrolean mountains: The new Alpine Pasture Star Hike
Last updated on 02.06.2026 | Region Hall-Wattens
Six alpine pastures, two mountain ranges, one unforgettable mountain experience—the new “Alpine Pasture Star Hike” connects the alpine pastures of the Karwendel and the Tux Alps into a complete experience for nature lovers and foodies alike. The hikes begin from a central starting point, ensuring maximum convenience.
Diversity in a compact area: that is the hallmark of the Hall-Wattens region. With the new Alpine Pasture Star Hike, this contrast between the rugged limestone peaks of the Karwendel and the gentle mountain peaks of the Tux Alps can now be experienced in a unique way.
“Our alpine pastures are much more than just places to stop for a meal; they are the heart of our alpine cultural landscape,” explains Martin Friede, Managing Director of Hall-Wattens Tourism. “With the Alpine Pasture Star Hike, we’re creating a common thread that links physical activity, contrasting landscapes, and genuine Tyrolean hospitality.”
Good to know: Almost all starting points are easily accessible by public transportation or mountain railways.
An overview of the six alpine hikes
The route takes you through two completely different mountain ranges and offers the perfect hike for every preference – from a leisurely family walk to a challenging day’s hike:
Tulfeinalm (Tux Alps): This rustic alp, situated at over 2,000 metres, offers an impressive view of the Karwendel massif opposite and is the perfect starting point for the famous Swiss Stone Pine Trail.
Largozalm (Tux Alps): A real insider’s tip for those seeking peace and quiet. The rustic wooden huts of the Largozalm nestle idyllically on the slopes above Volders, surrounded by fragrant Swiss stone pine forests.
Steinkasernalm (Tux Alps): Deep in the wild and romantic Voldertal valley, this alpine hut captivates with its unspoilt charm. Here, an alpine lunch tastes twice as good.
Thaurer Alm & Kaisersäule (Karwendel): After the climb to the Thaurer Alm, the short walk to the monumental Kaisersäule rewards you with a majestic view down into the Inn Valley and the Stubai and Zillertal Alps.
Walderalm & Walderjoch (Karwendel): Situated on a vast high plateau above Gnadenwald, the Walderalm offers a unique panorama of the Karwendel. The flat alpine meadows around the Walderjoch are a paradise for families.
St. Magdalena in the Halltal (Karwendel): a historical gem. This former hermitage and place of pilgrimage in the heart of the Halltal valley is not only a place to pause and reflect, but also invites visitors to linger, offering not just spiritual inspiration but also a traditional alpine inn.
