Winter hike to Bürglalm

Winter hike to Bürglalm

Start your winter hike in the picturesque village of Dienten, just after the Hotel Salzburgerhof, where the forest path to Lengthalalm and Hirscheggalm begins. The path leads you through a magical, snow-covered forest landscape, creating a unique winter experience. Follow the groomed winter hiking trail that gently winds through the forest. The fresh snow beneath your feet and the clear, cold air invite you to an active day in nature. After a pleasant hike, you reach Lengthalalm, where you can enjoy the first rays of sunshine. Here the landscape opens up and you can admire the impressive view of the surrounding mountains. Continue on your way and once again dive into the forest until you reach the turnoff to Bürglalm. Watch for the pink sign that points the way. The ascent becomes a bit steeper, but the sporty challenge is rewarded with breathtaking views of the alpine surroundings. Once you arrive at the reservoir pond by Bürglalm, you can take a well-deserved break. The quiet surroundings and glittering snow create a relaxing atmosphere that invites you to linger. From here, you can continue hiking below the valley station Wastlhöhe to Bürglalm and maybe even enjoy a small refreshment at the alpine hut. For the return journey, you have the choice: either take the same path back to the village of Dienten or enjoy a relaxing descent with the Bürglalmbahn cable car. Whatever option you choose, this winter hike offers you not only physical activity but also the opportunity to fully enjoy the breathtaking winter landscape. Grab your winter hiking boots and experience the beauty of the mountains in Dienten!
