Trojeralm

The short round-trip hike to the Trojeralm from St. Jakob in the Defereggental offers a smooth trail descent and a relaxing stop for refreshments.

Description

The tour begins in St. Jakob in the Defereggental valley. From here, the route starts on paved roads and later switches to gravel, offering moderate to stunning panoramic views as you head toward the Trojeralm snack bar in the direction of the Hohe Tauern National Park. After a 420-meter climb, you’ll reach the snack bar. It’s situated in a very idyllic spot and offers regional delicacies.

Then the descent begins toward the south, alternating between difficulty levels S1 and S2. The route runs parallel to the ascent route, steadily descending into the valley, before finally reaching the town center of St. Jakob im Defereggental via man-made structures such as stairs and similar elements. Overall, this is an entertaining day trip that’s particularly well-suited for travelers passing through, as well as in the spring and fall.
