Beginner Lasörling Höhenweg - Alternative Route

Today’s stage is short (around 5 km), which may sound easy at first. But don’t be fooled: this is one of the most adventurous parts of the trek. The trail starts with a steep climb of over 500 metres, with cables to assist in places. As you ascend, take time to look back and enjoy the stunning views of the Bergersee and the Bergersee Hut from above. The terrain can be tricky, with loose scree and rocks, so go steady, watch your step, and don’t hesitate to pause for breaks—the stretch is short, and it’s worth taking your time. After crossing the Berger Törl Pass, the descent begins, and before long the Lasörlinghütte comes into view, inviting you to rest and enjoy the scenery.

Optional hike: If the kids still have some energy left (or you do!), you can take an optional afternoon walk to the Virgentörl and Gritzerseen. It adds about 5 km and takes roughly 3 hours, but the mountain lakes and wide-open views are definitely worth the effort.

From the Lasörlinghütte (2,350 m), the trail descends steadily into the Virgen valley. It follows easy, well-marked T1 paths through open alpine terrain, with wide views of the Venediger and Lasörling ranges—an ideal final stage for families to enjoy together.

As you lose altitude, the landscape gradually shifts from high mountain slopes to shady forests and grassy hillsides. The trail is never technical, making it a relaxed and enjoyable walk, even for kids.

Once you reach the valley floor, the route joins the Iseltrail and follows the glacial-blue Isel river. After crossing a small footbridge, it’s just a short and peaceful walk to the village of Virgen—bringing your family’s mountain adventure to a beautiful close.
