Welcome to the Lasörling Höhenweg. Do you have not that much hiking experience, but want to make it just a little more challenging? Then the 5-day Lasörling Höhenweg is a great way to enjoy the Austrian Alps perhaps together with your children. Enjoy beautiful views of the Venedigergruppe and Großglocknergruppe and stay in Austria's most hospitable mountain huts. The distances between the mountain huts are relatively short but can be extended with short day hikes from your accommodation.

Please Note! The distances are relatively short, but it is still a hike in the mountains on a so-called 'Höhenweg'. It definitely won't be a 'walk in the park' and you will also pass some more technical sections. The trek is around 50 kilometres long and has a total ascent and descent of 3,100 meters. During this 5-day trek, you will hike between 4 and 7 hours per day. Will you join us?

Hinterbichl - Clarahütte

Duration: 05:25 h
Distance: 11.7 km
Ascent: 810 m
Descent: 100 m
We start the day with a pleasant walk towards the Islitzer Alm—perfect for a coffee break and a generous plate of Kaiserschmarrn (always a hit with kids!). From there, it’s a short stretch to the Umbalfälle, a spectacular series of waterfalls that are especially popular on sunny weekends. As you make your way along the falls, the trail gradually turns into the main ascent of the day. Wooden platforms, stairs, and viewing points add variety and excitement, especially for younger hikers, while the steady climb keeps things engaging without being overwhelming. Continuing upward, you eventually reach the Clarahütte at 2,038 metres, beautifully set amid dramatic mountain scenery.

Clarahütte - Neue Reichenbergerhütte

Duration: 05:15 h
Distance: 10.5 km
Ascent: 730 m
Descent: 180 m
On the second day, we follow the trail back a short distance before crossing the mountain river Isel—a scenic spot and a nice change of pace. From there, the route leads us into the quiet and picturesque Dabertal valley. If you're hiking in June, there's a good chance you'll come across some lingering patches of snow along the way, adding a touch of alpine charm to the landscape. About halfway through the hike, we enter the Hohe Tauern National Park. The path here is relatively flat and easy-going, making for a pleasant walk with time to take in the views. We end the day at the Neue Reichenberger Hütte, located right next to the serene Bödensee glacial lake—a peaceful and beautiful place to unwind after a rewarding day on the trail.

Neue Reichenbergerhütte - Bergerseehütte

Duration: 06:05 h
Distance: 10.5 km
Ascent: 620 m
Descent: 1010 m
Start the day with a good breakfast—this is one of the tougher stages, but also one of the most rewarding. We begin with a steady climb to the Göslewand, a striking viewpoint high above the valley. From there, it’s a short hike to the Rote Lenke, a mountain pass named after its reddish rock formations. This marks the transition from Bödensee to Kleinbachboden. The trail then heads downhill to the Michtalscharte, where you’ll get fantastic views of the Venedigergruppe. The descent makes this part a bit easier, even for those hiking with kids. After a final stretch, we reach the Bergerseehütte—beautifully located by a mountain lake and a great place to unwind after a full day on the trail.

Bergerseehütte to Zupalseehütte

Duration: 05:45 h
Distance: 11.8 km
Ascent: 880 m
Descent: 720 m

Today is a beautiful and rewarding day on the trail towards the Zupalseehütte. The first stretch from the Bergseehütte climbs steeply, gaining over 500 altitude metres. This is followed by a steep descent towards the Lasörlinghütte. The terrain here is rough, with loose scree and rocks, but cables are in place to aid both the ascent and descent. Take it at your own pace and enjoy the adventure. Once you reach the Lasörlinghütte, it's the ideal spot to take a well-deserved break, have lunch, and soak in the mountain scenery.

After that, the path heads east and becomes more gentle—great for catching your breath and enjoying the surroundings. As you reach the highest point of the day, you’re rewarded with sweeping panoramic views that stretch all the way to the Zupalseehütte. A great mix of challenge and enjoyment, with plenty of reasons to stop, snack, and smile along the way.

Zupalseehütte - Virgen

Duration: 04:15 h
Distance: 9.25 km
Ascent: 110 m
Descent: 1240 m
The last day's programme includes another substantial descent. No longer following the Lasörling Höhenweg, we directly hike into the valley in Virgen. The path starts with a not-too-easy descent along the Zupal Bach. Near the mountain lake, we pick up the path to the valley. As you descend, you get further and further below the tree line so you are soon hiking in the forest, which was not the case in recent days due to the altitude. Just before Virgen, you cross the Isel once more as on the first day and your hiking adventure comes to an end here. After completing your trek, make your way to Matrei in Osttirol, where your accommodation for the night has been arranged—perfect for a well-earned rest and a celebratory meal.
