The route of indulgence in Galtür leads to the Jamatal, one of the most beautiful high level alpine valleys. The pathway starts in the village square of Galtür. After about 3 hours, leaving the alms (mountain meadows) of Menta and Scheiben behind you, you will reach the Jamatal hut. It is situated 2165m above sea level, and offers a unique view of the peaks surrounding the Jamatal and the huge Jamatal glacier.

Mountain bikers will find a gravel road which is a relatively easy way to reach the Jamatal hut, but they can choose a much more challenging track down if preferable.
