Our top hiking tip
If you're looking for a hike, the Hotel Binggli team will be happy to help.
Our top tip – gratefully received by guests – is a hike in the Weisspriach valley:
It starts off in the village of Weisspriach and runs alongside the picturesque Longa stream flowing through the valley before heading up through the forest to the first hut. The Diktler hut serves Austrian specialities, including delicacies from the Lungau region. The hike continues on a pleasant track that leads to the Gangler hut, where you can get a delicious snack or hearty lunch.
