Themed Trail: The Mystery of the Missing Cows
The new themed trail, “Hochfügen – Life on the Alpine Pastures,” transforms the Four Alpine Huts Hike into an interactive adventure. In this audio-based story, participants are drawn into an exciting mystery: Just before the traditional cattle drive back to the valley, the unthinkable has happened – the cows have disappeared.
Now it's up to you to solve the case. Along the trail, hikers collect clues, solve puzzles, and follow the tracks to uncover the mystery and save the cattle drive.
Digital Hiking Adventures with the Locandy App
The new themed trails are played using the Locandy app, combining traditional hiking with interactive storytelling, puzzles, and digital challenges. The result is an engaging mountain experience that brings together nature, knowledge, and play.
Via Ferrata
Pfaffenbichl
The Pfaffenbichl Via Ferrata can also be climbed during the summer months. Access is only possible on foot from Hochfügen via the marked hiking trail to the Waidoffen mountain station. With an ascent of approximately 2.5 hours, the approach itself is a demanding alpine hike requiring good fitness, sure-footedness and mountain experience.
The approximately 260-metre-long via ferrata begins along the mountain ridge. Steel cables, iron rungs and a spectacular 28-metre suspension bridge lead the route to the 2,431-metre summit of Pfaffenbichl. Tibetan prayer flags add a distinctive touch to the alpine setting.
With 115 metres of vertical climbing and a maximum difficulty of grade B, the via ferrata offers a varied alpine experience. The combination of well-secured rock, an exposed ridge traverse and impressive panoramic views makes this tour a rewarding challenge for experienced and fit mountain enthusiasts equipped with appropriate via ferrata gear.
