This loop offers just the right level of challenge for families looking to experience real mountain hiking. The trail begins in Gries, climbing through forests and meadows to reach the stunning Bergerseehütte. On day two, the route continues across panoramic slopes to Lasörlinghütte, where views of the Virgen Valley await. On the final day, descend gently back to Gries, completing the circuit.
Both huts, Bergerseehütte and Lasörlinghütte, offer traditional alpine hospitality, with tasty meals, comfy beds, and panoramic terraces. Children will enjoy spotting marmots and grazing sheep, while adults soak up the quiet beauty of East Tyrol’s wild side. The Mini Lasörling Höhenweg is a short but enriching adventure — perfect for mountain-loving families.
While this version of the Lasörling Höhenweg is tailored for families, it’s still a real mountain adventure. Expect rocky paths, steep sections both uphill and downhill, and hikes that range from 4 to 6 hours a day. Some parts of the trail cross unstable terrain with loose rocks and debris, and several sections are aided by fixed cables for added safety. This trek is best suited for families with older children who already have some experience in alpine environments.
