From the Ratschings-Jaufen cable car mountain station to the Wasserfalleralm mountain hut

Take the Ratschings-Jaufen cable car up to the mountain station at approx. 1,800 metres above sea level. From here, the route follows the Ratschings Alpine Pasture Trail (Ratschinger Almenweg), ascending gradually until reaching the Wasserfalleralm mountain hut.

Note: The route follows gravel tracks throughout and does not include any forest trails. It is therefore well suited to mountain bikes.

The opening hours of mountain and alpine huts can be found here.
