Description

Over snowy forests and picturesque meadows, this circular winter hike leads you through the idyllic winter landscape of the Leutasch Valley. Discover the Tyrolean Mountain Farming Museum and enjoy a rustic stop before exploring more of the stunning nature.

The scenic hike starts directly from the Rödlach parking lot near the Leutasch Zottlhof. Right next to the parking area, you'll find the signposted hiking trail through Katzenloch. After a brief stretch across fields, you’ll enter the sparkling winter forest, a special corner of nature that ends in the Mösern district of Buchen. There, take the turn toward the Tyrolean Mountain Farming Museum.

At the museum, the cozy Landgasthof Ropferstub'm invites you in with rustic treats and a charming traditional lounge for a short break. After an optional refreshment, head left from the Ropferstub'm and follow the Schlagweg along the forest edge to the next trail junction near the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol. Cross the road and follow the hiking signs to Muggenmoos. After passing through romantic paths in the dense forest, you’ll reach a wide clearing where a detour to the cozy Muggenmoos Alm is possible. Here, the Neuhauser family welcomes you with seasonal specialties and Tyrolean classics. Finally, retrace your steps slightly to rejoin the trail and then wind through the woods back to your starting point.
