Gramais: Mountain Lakes, Hiking Trails and Alpine Experiences

Gramais combines impressive mountain landscapes with diverse opportunities for active and culturally minded holidays. Well-marked and regularly maintained hiking trails lead from Gramais to the surrounding peaks and through dense green forests. There are also high-altitude mountain lakes, a climbing garden with a clearly defined season and a listed parish church. This allows you to plan your trip entirely according to your preferred pace: with longer mountain tours, walks, special natural destinations or a cultural visit to the village.

Mountain lakes as special destinations around Gramais

One of the most impressive natural destinations is Lake Kogelsee. It is the largest of five mountain lakes in the mountain landscape at the foot of the Kogelseespitze. Lake Gufelsee lies at an altitude of 2,300 metres and is known for its deep-blue water. Both destinations give a hike a distinctive scenic focus and showcase the high-mountain landscape in different ways.

Another specific tour leads from Gramais to Lake Roßkarsee. The lake, located at 2,123 metres, can be reached from Gramais in around three hours. On the way there, you can also visit Lake Schafkarsee, which lies at an altitude of 2,000 metres. Anyone wishing to combine several natural destinations in one tour will find a clear way here to structure the day's plans around the stages mentioned. The Lechtal High Trail, with its numerous Alpine Club huts, can also be reached directly from Gramais within a day tour.

Hiking, mountain tours and climbing

Gramais is a starting point for numerous hikes and mountain tours, as well as walks and walking routes. This makes it possible to combine different ideas of a holiday: while some days can be devoted to the surrounding peaks and longer trails, walks through the forests or a shorter outing can take centre stage on other days. If you are travelling with a group, you can tailor the choice of activities to everyone's interests and the planned daily schedule without making every day of your holiday the same.

For those interested in climbing, Bergschule Lechtal offers climbing courses for all levels. The “Mühlschrofen” climbing garden is located directly within a wildlife protection area. For this reason, the climbing season is limited to the period from 15 May to 15 October. You should take this time frame into account when planning your trip if the climbing garden is to be an important part of your stay.

Culture and nature park in the village

Gramais also has a point of interest away from the mountain trails. The Catholic parish church of St John the Baptist is protected as a listed monument by ordinance. The present building was newly constructed from 1824 to 1832. For a day of travel that combines natural experiences and local history, the church provides a suitable cultural focal point without requiring another mountain tour to be planned.

Gramais is also part of the Tiroler Lech Nature Park. The Gramais circular cross-country ski trail allows you to explore the municipality and the atmosphere of the idyllic mountain village. In addition to the hiking and mountain destinations mentioned above, the village therefore offers another way to experience the surrounding area on a dedicated circular route.

Gramais as a base for planning your trip

When choosing a holiday apartment or holiday house in Gramais, you can first consider which of the experiences described should shape your trip. For mountain lakes and longer outings, Lake Roßkarsee, Lake Schafkarsee, Lake Gufelsee and Lake Kogelsee are important reference points. Anyone wishing to focus their trip more strongly on climbing should take the period from 15 May to 15 October into account. For a varied itinerary, hikes, the parish church and the services offered by Bergschule Lechtal can be combined.

Gramais can be reached by a well-developed road from Häselgehr. The Gramais hiking bus operates only in summer. If you would like to plan on using this means of transport, the seasonal restriction should therefore be included in your preparations. This allows you to coordinate your search for suitable accommodation with your planned excursions and preferred travel period.
