Innerberg via Falla to Kristberg

From the Gasthaus Mühle in Innerberg, we walk uphill following the road on the Glänweg towards Kristberg. At Totabühel, we continue cross-country, cross the road, and thus reach the path towards Maschleu. Following the path, we reach Fulateia, where we can ascend over open terrain to Falla. Falla is a great viewpoint into the neighboring Klostertal. From here, we can descend via Ganzaläta to the Waldschule and continue back to the Bergstation of the Kristbergbahn. Alternatively, from here, you can walk back to Innerberg via the winter hiking trail.

Snowshoe hikes are endurance sports. Train basic conditioning in other endurance sports before the snowshoe season. The valuable strain stimuli for the heart and circulatory system require health and good self-assessment. Avoid time pressure and increase the intensity and scope of your hikes gradually. Fluids, energy, and breaks are necessary to maintain performance and concentration. Hot isotonic drinks are ideal thirst quenchers and heat providers. Muesli bars, dried fruit, and cookies satisfy small hunger on the way.
