The tour
The romantic Gumpental valley with its natural alpine culture attracts walkers (up to the Stangl Alm), hikers (up to the Moaralmsee) and mountaineers (up to the Höchstein). Before stopping at the hut and enjoying a good snack, it is definitely worthwhile to take a trip to the beautifully situated Moaralmsee. The turquoise-blue lake is easily accessible and lies picturesquely at the foot of the steeply rising Höchstein.

Turn-by-turn directions
The best way to start is from one of the parking places at the Almstraße into the Gumpental. Walk along the Güterweg past the Maierl and Schmiedalm to the Stangl Alm at the end of the valley. To the Moaralmsee it goes now steeper becoming in several bends up the mountain slope. After about 1 hour coming from the Stangl Alm, the Güterweg leads into the Almsteig no. 781, flanked by bushes. The narrow path leads uphill over small steps. We cross a small stream and reach the shore of the turquoise-blue Moaralmsee (1,825 m). Larger stone blocks and meadows invite you to sit down and rest. Children can undertake an adventurous voyage of discovery around the lake. The way back is along the ascent route.
