Taking the European long-distance path "E5" to the Hintereggalm

General description

The Hintereggalm forms part of the Tall pastures and has been used as a summer meadow for rearing local agricultural animals for generations. The area has been popular with the many hikers that visit it from an early stage, meaning that food and drink have been available at the Hinteregger Alm hut since the 1970s.

Route description

The starting point for this hike is the Verdins-Tall cable car mountain station. From here, you continue your ascent using the Tall-Grube chair lift. The relatively flat no. 8 footpath to Klammeben, which leads to the Hirzer Hütte Inn, begins here. After an easy ascent, carry on along hiking path no. 1 through the Tallner Alm pastures until you reach the Hintereggalm hut.

For your return, the recommended route is path no. 4 to the Gompm Almhut, followed by forest path no. 2 to the Grube. Then take the Tall-Grube chair lift into the valley, followed by the cable car back to Verdins. Once you’re back in Verdins, you can take the bus back to Scena and Merano in comfort.
