Grossarl: Saukaralm

Go by car or hiking taxi to the parking lot Vorderstadluck and than walk up, past the Röschenbergalm (not managed) across beautiful alpine meadows to the Saukaralm. This is the highest mountain hut in Grossarltal. The view from here is simply unique. The Hohe Tauern, the Hochkönig and the Tennengebirge and Hagengebirge mountains make this alp one of the most beautiful vantage points in Grossarltal. If you are a little later on your way, you should definitely watch the sunset on the Saukaralm. Sunsets here are particularly impressive thanks to the unobstructed views to the south, west and north.
