Glemmtaler Baumwipfelweg: Over suspension bridge and treetops through the valley head

The treetop walk at the end of the valley of Hinterglemm is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region. It combines a 200-meter-long suspension bridge – known as “Golden Gate of the Alps” – with a sturdy wooden path at lofty heights. There's plenty to discover along the way, especially for families with children.

Entry via the suspension bridge

The treetop walk begins with the well-known Golden Gate Bridge of the AlpsThe suspension bridge is made of metal mesh and wood and leads at a height of about 42 meters over the source of the SaalachThose with a fear of heights should be prepared for a slightly queasy feeling – through the railing, you can see right down to the river. However, the view of the surrounding mountain landscape is impressive.

There's a machine at the entrance where you can pay the €9 entrance fee directly – in cash, notes, or coins. The machine changes notes into coins. When the ticket office is open, admission for adults is €12.

The actual treetop walk

After the bridge, the approximately 600-meter-long treetop walk begins. It consists of a solid wooden structure that leads through the forest via several platforms and towers. The path is designed with variety, featuring several play stations, balancing elements, and interactive information panels about the forest, animals, and habitats. Children have plenty to discover here—at the same time, the paths are wide and safe.

The elevation gain is pleasant, and you'll come across small vantage points along the way. Everything is well-maintained, and there's plenty of space even when the crowds are heavier.

Low ropes course and other offers

At the end of the treetop walk there is a small Low ropes course, which runs directly along the ground. Children can balance on ropes or cross small suspension bridges. Those who like can walk further through the valley or relax at the Lindlingalm which is located right at the entrance. In summer, there is also the option of returning by valley train or renting toboggans.
