Brentenjochalm

Welcoming little dining lounges, a visual feast of floral splendour around the house and satisfied guests sitting in the sunshine outside the mountain hut enjoying one of the homemade nut cakes or apple strudel. Gourmands, hikers, tourers and sometimes even friendly little alpine genies get together here at the idyllic Brentenjochalm that, thanks to the Kaiserlift, is particularly easy to access. But where are the cows? The young cattle and heifers lie comfortably together in the clean barn until they come to graze on the alpine pastures in the evening. The milk cows graze on the slopes opposite at Steinbergalm, around half an hour’s walk away.
The hike starts at the Kaiserlift car park (pay-and-display) and leads past the village kindergarten to the monument erected in honour of Josef Madersperger, inventor of the sewing machine. The path starts here and takes walkers around many winding bends to a flat ridge at Elfenhain. This is followed by a short exposed section along a narrow path (wooden fence) along Kienbachklamm gorge. You will soon arrive at the turning for Duxeralm (signposted), which is accessible via a forest trail. Pass the Duxeralm to your right and continue along the forest trail until a left-hand bend. Now head southwards along the Schneerosenweg and turn onto the forest road at Kälberhag. The route leads along the forest trail from here in an easterly direction to Brentenjochalm.
