Jungscharalm Trail

Description:
Short trail round around the Jungscharalm and as a bonus to the Sauzahn climbing rock.

Directions:
This loop starts at the bus stop at the Schöfftalerkapelle chapel. We walk across the meadow immediately behind it until we reach a hiking trail. We keep to the left of the path, which leads us to the Sauzahnbauer car park. We continue along the Ofen main road. As far as the Gspörr farm in Dandlgraben. Behind the farmstead, a track leads up into the forest, which takes us to the alpine meadow of the Jungscharalm.  At the Jungscharalm we come to a road again and we now walk to the Sauzahnbauer car park. Here we turn left and walk flat over meadow paths until we turn right again and walk up to the Sauzähnen. After passing the climbing rocks, we take a narrow path back down towards the Schöfftalerkapelle chapel.

Equipment:
The required equipment always depends on the particular tour and the weather conditions. Regarding the food: This is very individual and it is recommended to have rather too much than too little with equipment and food. For a 5km round in the valley you need less than for a demanding tour in the mountains. The weather can change quickly and if you are not constantly on the move or need to take a break, for example, warming clothing is of great importance. 

 

We have a general checklist for you here:
