The Starting point for the Culinary Way of St James indulgence route, from Kappl is the town road to Ulmich. The forest path to Dias takes you past 2 of the chapels for which Kappl has been named – The Holy Cross Chapel (Heiligkreutzkapelle) and the Resting Stone Chapel (Ruhesteinkapelle). After a cheese tasting on the Seßladalpe you will reach the Niederelbhütte at 2300m above sea level. 2 mountain lakes and a waterfall, as well as an imposing mountain panorama, invite you to linger for some time, there.
Around the Niederelbhütte there are myriad tours to the nearby mountain summits. The efforts of the ascent are rewarded with a view of the mountains of Paznaun, Lake Riepa and the incomparable alpine flower meadows.
For those, who wish to shorten the hike a little to the Niederelbhütte, they can take the Diasbahn cable car from Kappl to the summit. From there you can reach the hut in a two hour hike.
