Through blackberry and bilberry bushes, you first get to the Untere Lüchlealp - one of the most picturesque huts in the valley - then the Innere Stierhofalpe. As an awarded GenussHütte (gourmet cabin) it offers exclusively regional products. The amazing view of the Walser mountain panorama is a free extra!
Author’s recommendation
Make a stop at the GenussHütte (gourmet cabin) Innere Stierhof – all products stem from the family's farm in the valley.

Turn-by-turn directions
From the main road in Baad follow the Starzelweg to the left; after a few hundred meters, turn right onto the trail. In short peaks, you hike on a root path up to the Untere Lüchlealp. At the fork, keep to the left, direction Stierhofalpe. Soon the forest thins out and you walk with a moderate rise in open terrain to the Innere Stierhofalpe. Continue to Starzelalp, then down into the Duratal. Small brooks make the way partly wet and slippery. At the Duraalpe, a gravel road continues to the familiar fork in the road and back to Baad.
