Experiencing the sunrise in the mountains is something you will never forget. Martin, your Gartnerkofel landlord, will take you to our sunrise spot “Gugger” via Garnitzen-Thörl early in the morning.
With your host
Picnic on the alpine pasture
The picnic on the Winkelalm pasture is organised once a week and is an absolute highlight for every holiday at Gartnerkofel hotel. From our hotel, you can take various routes (from 1 hour to 4.5 hours hiking time) up to the pasture. For everyone with sore feet or otherwise tired of hiking, the Gartnerkofel Alpine vehicle will take you right up to the picnic spot.

A lot to discover
Our themed hiking tours
Aqua-Trail "BergWasser"
Play – experience - enjoy: This is what the 1.5 kilometre-family-adventure track on the Madritsche mountain is about. An ideal family outing, even for the youngest, is the “BergWasser” aqua trail you can stroll along with your pram, close to the Millennium express mountain station. There is a lot to discover at the aqua trail:
Splashing water fountains
Boats at the pond
Fun on the trampolines
Play & fun stations
Trail riding
It's a kind of different mountain experience!
But so much fun for the whole family! The "Rossalm" hike with Noriker horses are guided riding tours with refreshments on the alpine pasture. You can choose between short and long tours and admire the wonderful mountain panorama.
Guided lama tours
Lama tours are for body, mind and soul!
You want to do something unusual? Then give it a try! In this year's summer season we offer varied and guided lama tours. You can expect tours with 8 lamas, a parkour with skill exercises and culinary highlights with Frigga and Co. afterwards.
