Tröpolacher Alm

Tröpolacher Alm pasture with its own dairy and refreshment point is located in an idyllic spot high above the Gailtal valley in the Nassfeld region, below the imposing Zweifkofel peak and near a reservoir. During the summer months, more than 50 dairy cows and around 90 young cattle graze here. Their fresh milk is processed into Gailtaler Almkäse cheese, butter, “Schotten” cheese and yoghurt in the pasture's dairy. If you drop in for refreshments, you will of course be served the dairy specialties made right here on the pasture, as well as hot dishes such as “Frigga”, bacon and eggs or goulash soup, all freshly prepared in the traditional way. Tours of the dairy and the barn are offered (registration is required). Tröpolacher Alm pasture is a perfect starting point for hiking tours in the Carnic Alps, for instance up Roßkofel or Trogkofel mountains in the immediate vicinity of the pasture. However, it doesn't have to be a long or strenuous hike: from the hut and its terrace, visitors enjoy splendid views of the Gailtal valley and the refreshing mountain air. If you would like to experience the pasture in the early hours of the morning or in the evening, you have the option of spending the night in the hut and be woken up by cowbells in the morning. Tröpolacher Alm may be reached via a well-maintained gravel path.
