Hiking Pins and Hiking Badges

Collecting stamps at huts and on area summits

You love to take hikes from hut to hut, up to mountain tarns and the high peaks? We are of the opinion that your achievement deserves to be rewarded. Our hiking pins feature genuine gilding in parts and are handmade. Each hut, each mountain and each tour earns you a certain number of points. What do you have to do? Simply enjoy your hikes, and when you reach the hut or mountaintop, collect the official stamps and the points that go with them.

It is possible to earn the following hiking pins:

Hiking pin in silver: 50 points, tours of your choosing
Hiking pin in gold: 100 points, required tour: a valley crossing of your choosing
Touring Pin: 300 points; Required tours: Gamskarkogel, Grossarl-Tappenkarsee-Hüttschlag; other tours of your choosing
Alpine Pin: 500 points; Required tours: Höllwand, Draugstein, Arlscharte; other tours of your choosing
High-Alpine Pin: 1,000 points; Required tours: Keeskogel, Weinschnabel; other tours of your choosing
Silver Hiking Boot: 2,500 points; Required tours same as for the High-Alpine Pin; other tours of your choosing
Golden Hiking Boot: 5,000 points; Required tours same as for the Silver Hiking Boot

Please note: On longer hikes with multiple official checkpoints, the individual points will not count, but rather only those for the entire tour.

Conditions for earning hiking pins

The points you earn do not expire, so you can keep accumulating them from year to year. You will find the official stamps at mountain huts and on mountaintops. Use them to stamp the prescribed pages in our brochure “Huts in Grossarltal” – this will provide proof that you completed the hikes. When you are ready, present your collection of stamps at the Grossarltal tourist office. 1 hiking pin costs € 4.50, with guest card € 2.50.
For children up to age 12, we also have fun buttons that are free of charge.
