Family route from Arthurhaus via the Marmot Trail to the Mitterfeldalm
Beautiful circular hike from Arthurhaus via the Marmot Trail to the Mitterfeldalm: brilliant views, child-friendly paths, and as a highlight, the best nut sticks in the Salzburg region.
This varied circular route starts at Arthurhaus and leads via the popular Marmot Trail to the Mitterfeldalm. The path goes through wild mountain landscapes with dreamy views of the surrounding mountains and the impressive Mandl walls. On the Marmot Trail, young and old can experience the animals up close and even observe them with a bit of luck. After a moderate ascent via alpine hiking trails, you reach the idyllic Mitterfeldalm. Here, not only a cozy refreshment spot awaits but also probably the best nut sticks far and wide! The alm invites you to linger, and the view over the mountain panorama is breathtaking. After the refreshment, the circular trail leads back to the starting point.

Directions
The starting point is Arthurhaus. From here, you head on well-marked, wide paths towards the Marmot Trail. The child-friendly path winds through alpine meadows and offers repeated opportunities to observe marmots in the wild. At the end of the path, the wide trail becomes a hiking path, which with increasing incline turns more and more into a narrow trail. After the brisk ascent, you are rewarded with a sensational 300° panorama at the Mitterfeldalm. The return path is easy and leads back along a well-developed gravel path with a gentle downhill slope.
