Our hiking tips around Hafling
Some of the hikes we particularly recommend to our guests are the Three Alpine Pastures Hike, the route to Sulfner Pond, Kratzberg Lake and, of course, the Knottenkino viewpoint. For families, the Haflinger Adventure Trail is a great alternative. More experienced hikers looking for impressive panoramic views should consider the Ifinger or a hike to Kuhleiten Hut.
Our tip for a half-day hike
If you only have half a day, a hike to Leadner Alm is a good choice. From the village of Hafling, it takes about one hour to reach the alpine pasture; at a leisurely pace, you should allow around 2–2.5 hours for the round trip. This leaves plenty of time for a stop at the mountain hut and a relaxing afternoon back at Sonnenheim.
