Sprawling flower meadows, the majestic Karwendel Mountain Range in the background and a charming ensemble of alpine cabins. Welcome to the Walderalm! All seasons of the year are pretty up here, but early summer is best according to the locals. As soon as summer arrives in the higher regions, the vast alpine pastures burst into bloom with buttercups, cuckoo cloves, cotton grass, red clover, forget-me-nots and daisies. The grazing area extends over the flat mountain ridge of Walderkamm to Vomperbach.
