    The Ratschings Alpine Pasture Trail (Almenweg Ratschings) begins at the car park of the Kalcheralm mountain hut, at the foot of the Jaufenpass. The route leads past several mountain huts offering food and refreshments. Initially, follow trail no. 19B to the Kalcheralm mountain hut. From there, the route continues towards the Rinneralm mountain hut and through the MountainAdventureWorld, a themed area for children, before reaching the Summit Mountain Club at the mountain station of the Ratschings-Jaufen cable car. The hike can also be shortened by starting from this point.

    The trail then continues towards the Wasserfalleralm and Saxnerhütte mountain huts, before reaching the Äußere Wumblsalm and Innere Wumblsalm mountain huts. From here, continue to the Klammalm mountain hut, then descend to Flading along trail no. 12, skirting the Pfeifer-Huisele gorge.

    As an alternative, the hike can be started from Flading and completed in the opposite direction, with a greater elevation gain.

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