    Directions

    The Culinary Hike Großes Walsertal begins at the valley station of the Sonntag-Stein cable car. You can reach it either by local bus or by car. Parking is available directly at the valley station.

    The cable car takes you to Sonntag-Stein in no time. The hike begins at the mountain station. From here, the trail branches off to the right and leads to Steintobel. Shortly after Steintobel, follow the new path and take the farm road through the Bickelwald up to Alpe Steris.

    After the first culinary highlight, the route continues along a beautiful hiking trail toward Alpe Oberpartnom/Breithornhütte. Just before the Breithornhütte, there is a short but fairly steep climb to conquer. You’ve made it! The Bickel family and the team at the Breithornhütte will treat you to a delicious lunch.

    After a leisurely lunch break, the route heads downhill for the final stage and the last stop. The final stage starts at the Breithornhütte and leads down the road to Alpe Unterpartnom, continuing toward Steinbild and back to the Sonntag-Stein cable car mountain station. A detour to the Echo Wall or the Klangraum.Stein themed trail is recommended. Those who wish to reach the destination more quickly can turn left at Alpe Unterpartnom and descend directly via the footpath to the Sonntag-Stein cable car mountain station. The cable car will take you back to the starting point and to the final stop on this culinary hike. In the bistro of the biosphärenpark.haus, directly across from the valley station, a sweet finale to this delightful day awaits you.
