Description
The Postalm has many well-marked hiking trails at all levels of difficulty so you can explore the area the way you want. On the 8.5 km hike indicated on the map below, you walk through alpine meadows, forests and along rocky walls and reach beautiful viewpoints. Along the way you can encounter alpine birds like Yellow-billed Chough, Alpine Accentor, Common Raven, Golden Eagle and Nutcracker and if you are lucky some Bearded Vulture or Griffon Vulture, although these vultures are a rare sight here. Sometimes Western Capercaillie are seen along the alpine road that leads to the Postalm. But again, you have to be very lucky for that.
