During a stay in Asching, you can include Aschinger Alm in your plans on foot, by e-bike or mountain bike, and in winter also by toboggan. The routes vary depending on the mode of transport and the course they take: the hike follows a forest road, the short e-bike and mountain bike tour follows a scenic Alpine pasture road, and in winter the forest road can serve as a toboggan run. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Asching, it helps to decide first what you plan to do each day: will your stay centre on hiking, cycling, or a possible winter day of tobogganing?
Hiking to Aschinger Alm
The hike to Aschinger Alm starts at the “Asching” car park in Buchberg and follows a forest road to Berggasthof Aschinger Alm. The route is suitable for families and starts and ends at the “Asching Buchberg” car park. This makes both the starting point and the loop nature of the route clear for planning purposes.
The 300 | Aschinger Alm Circuit climbs through Oberbuchberg to Alpengasthof Aschinger Alm. Along the way, there are views of the Zahmer Kaiser, the Inn Valley and Lake Walchsee. The descent runs through a wooded area on a gravel road to Asching and the hiking car park. The climb, the views and the descent give this circuit its distinctive route.
Cycling with the Alm or a stage as your destination
The short e-bike and mountain bike tour to Aschinger Alm runs from Asching along a scenic Alpine pasture road. If you are looking for a ride with a specific destination, the Alm is the endpoint of this tour. Another cycling option is stages 12–13 of the Mozartradweg: the route passes through Asching before reaching the main road to Durchholzen. This distinguishes the dedicated tour to the Alm from the Mozartradweg stage.
Getting there and a winter tobogganing option
Aschinger Alm can be reached by car via Ebbs or by taking the Zahmer Kaiser chairlift in Durchholzen. The route to the Alm is signposted from the church in Ebbs. If you plan to take the chairlift, check the timetable in advance, as services may change seasonally.
In winter, the forest road from the “Asching” car park to Aschinger Alm can also be used as a toboggan run, provided snow and operating conditions are suitable. The car park for the toboggan run is the Wander- und Radweg-Aschingeralm car park in Asching. Free sled hire is available seasonally right at Aschinger Alm. Before your winter visit, check whether hire is available on your chosen date.
Cheese and dairy products from the Alm
The dairy at Aschinger Alm processes milk from its Alpine cows into various cheeses, butter, curd cheese, yoghurt and other dairy products. For its Alpine cheese, it uses silage-free hay milk and traditional recipes; production follows time-honoured traditions. Food lovers are recommended to visit the dairy on the 300 | Aschinger Alm Circuit. This adds a specific culinary highlight to the circuit’s routes and viewpoints.
