Profile
Nothing illustrates the identity of the Tyrolean Gailtal as much as the culture of the mountain farmers. Many beautiful, traditionally operated mountain farms are seaming the valley and are a symbol for the fact that the Tyrolean Gailtal together with the neighbouring valley Lesachtal is considered as one of the most pristine inhabited valleys of the Alps. The Höfe Trail leads in 3 short and not very demanding stages through this beautiful valley landscape. Together with the created “farm experiences” (mountain farmers let you participate in their working life) the hiker gets a deep insight into the life of mountain farmers. It is not the locals who adapt to the tourists but the hikers who associate themselves with the culture of the mountain farmers – this is how the Höfe Trail manages to make a great contribution to the responsible tourism development of the Tyrolean Gailtal.
