Around the Kuhmöser
Summit tour

Scenic route with varied views.

Many paths lead to the Kellerjoch, Schwaz's striking local mountain. One of the most beautiful is the "detour" from the Loassattel via the idyllic Gartalm. This allows you to get to know the mountain from several sides, with impressive new views in every direction. It is particularly beautiful when the alpine roses are in bloom at the end of June.
