This hike through the Senderstal valley starts at the Sportcafé Grinzens. The valley path, an alpine road with gravel surface, connects the village with the Kemater Alm mountain hut. The lower section of the trail runs along the western bank of the Sendersbach brook, passing the first chapel. Later it continues on the eastern bank, where a second chapel is situated. The road passes the parking at the junction to Salfeins, and continues to lead uphill.
After more than 2 hours walk we reach the Kemater Alm, which is situated at a valley junction. Green meadows surround the mountain hut, as well as the other buildings and the small church. At the Kemater Alm mountain hut you can enjoy Tyrolean specialities. In the background, the peaks of the Kalkkögel rise to the sky, in the valley the Griesbach and the Sendersbach flow together. We return back to the village of Grinzens on the same path.
