Tour description:

The forest adventure trail circles Staffen and offers you variety and hiking fun for the whole family. The day starts with a ride on the Hochplattenbahn. In about 20 minutes, the chairlift takes you to the mountain station. Now you go a short way uphill until you reach the low-gradient circular trail.

From here, a very varied path with sunny and shady passages, forest paths or panoramic views awaits you.
Play and learning stations of course must not be missing here. 

Our tips:

  • If you want to extend the route a bit, you can save the trip on the Hochplattenbahn and start hiking directly from the valley station (about 1.5 hours longer)
  • After the successful hike, you can stop by the Berggasthof Staffn-Alm
