Author’s recommendation
Stettauer huts: The construction dates of many of the original huts can't be precisely determined - too many centuries have since passed. The Stettauer Alm is a good example. However, it is certainly between 400 and 500 years old. In the past farmers had to send their livestock up to higher pastures, because there was not enough fodder in the valley. A few cows remained in the valley, the rest of the cattle spent the summer months on the mountain pastures. The cultural landscape characteristic of the Alpine region thus developed over centuries. To this day, the Stettauer hut fulfils its original purpose and is home to dairy cows. Not much has changed at all: even the old shingle roof still exists, held together by stones instead of nails. The ancient structure can be viewed up close on this leisurely hike. Farmkehralm: Enjoy a delicious Wiener Schnitzel or the Tirol Pur Hüttenjause on the large sunny terrace or in the cosy interior. Please observe the Farmkehralm opening hours.
