Trip to the Falzthurntal valley
The most beautiful valley in the Karwendel
In the Karwendel Alps you will find a number of beautiful places, one of which is the picturesque Falzthurntal valley. It starts at the town of Pertisau, located on the shores of beautiful Lake Achensee. From here it is about a 7-kilometer pleasant walk (or drive on a toll road) to the large Alpengasthof Gramaialm. In front of it is a large parking lot along the road. From here you can continue on a range of beautiful tours.
