Autumn hiking daysHiking pleasure in the mountaineering village of Malta
The Malta Valley, also called the valley of the “falling waters”, invites hiking enthusiasts to hike together. The mountaineering village of Malta forms the eastern gateway to the Hohe Tauern National Park.
A unique cultural and natural landscape awaits visitors around the “Tauern Queen” Hochalmspitze.
Guided by our National Park Rangers, we offer a guided hiking programme to the peaks, the “Arlscharte” (2326m) in the rear Maltatal and to the “Winterleitenkopf” in the Gößgraben (2518m).
