Slow Food | Gailtaler Almkäse

A leisurely hike from the Sonnenalpe Nassfeld with a stop at two typical cheese dairies - an enjoyable discovery tour around the Gailtaler Almkäse.

Suggestion
  • Buy fresh Gailtaler Almkäse directly on site
  • Be sure to try it: the spicy, aromatic Gailtaler Almkäse PDO is a genuine Slow Food product - traditionally handmade and made with milk from grazing cattle in the region

  • Visit other cheese dairies nearby: Rudnig Alm, Tröpolacher Alm

Equipment
