June 21, 2022,Runde von Alatsee - Vils - Saloberalm

We started from the Alatsee in the direction of Vils, Tyrol. The weather was excellent and with the first meters of altitude to the Vils castle ruins we started to sweat a bit 😃

The ruins were quickly explored and we hiked on to the Saloberalm (note: closed on Mondays and Tuesdays!) You could stop here, unfortunately the Alm was …

March 2, 2025,das erste Mal Alatsee.... dieses Jahr🤗

A late start to the year, but better late than never. At first I thought I would have to walk the familiar route in the foggy grey, but then the sun managed to break through and clear most of the fog.
Nevertheless, the actual 4-lake view was more of a see-nothing-much view👀

Great tour, great weather, but steep climbs on open gravel paths and paved roads and hot temperatures are exhausting. It's good to get to the Saloberalm early.

March 31, 2026,Ostallgäu & Tirol - Alatsee - Saloberalm - Burgruine Vilsegg - Vils

Today the tour had to be a little shorter. The fresh snow had turned the smaller mountain paths (at least for us lowlanders) into a challenge. Knee-deep in places, but always well-cushioned :) Particularly beautiful: the Saloberalm and the Alatsee. A walk through an enchanted, white fairytale landscape.

Escaped the fog and enjoyed the beautiful weather again.
Nice circular hike from Vils to the Salober Alm, then the view of 4 lakes (but I only saw 3) then to the Alatsee behind and back to Vils.
