Hiking and dining on the Mieminger Plateau
Hiking the Mieminger Plateau
Things to Do in TyrolHiking on the Mieminger Plateau — a circular trail with unique views. This relaxed tour through the idyllic landscape of the Sonnenplateau is the perfect choice for a rewarding day out — and easy to enjoy even with a pushchair.
The path leads along sweeping meadows, past the golf course towards Wildermieming and back again to your starting point in Obermieming. Stop in at our Stöttlalm and let the day wind down — that is what makes this hike a delightful experience for the whole family.

Key facts of the hike
Gentle paths to the Stöttlalm
Trail description
From the Parkplatz Sonnenplateau car park in Obermieming, signposted paths lead you through the idyllic Mieminger Sonnenplateau up to our mountain hut — and back again at a leisurely pace along an alternative route.
From the Parkplatz Sonnenplateau, head right through a gate and follow the field track in a north-easterly direction to the first fork. Keep left here and follow the "Stöttlalm" signs — the path climbs gently and leads you straight towards the imposing Mieminger Kette. After a striking water tower you reach the next fork, just before the lower Stöttlbrücke. Keep right here — and within a few minutes you arrive at the Stöttlalm at 980 metres, set picturesquely along the upper edge of the golf course.
From the Stöttlalm, continue eastwards above the golf course. After a few minutes the path branches off to the right at a junction and leads you gently downhill along the eastern edge of the golf course. Past the Wildermieming settlement, the trail joins a crossing road — keep right here and stroll on to the small chapel beyond the Greenvieh and the Alpenresort Schwarz. After the chapel, turn right again and you are back at your starting point.
Classified as family-friendly (mountain trails). Please check the current weather and wear suitable footwear.
