Welcome to the Lasörling Höhenweg. In this 5-day version, two stages of the original route are combined into one long day, which makes it a step up from the classic trek. Stay in Austria's most hospitable mountain huts and enjoy beautiful views of the Venedigergruppe and Großglocknergruppe. Prefer shorter days? Then the original version may suit you better.

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?

Important: Day 5, from the Bergerseehütte to the Zupalseehütte, is the hardest day of the trek. Right after breakfast you climb steeply to the Berger Törl at around 2,800 metres, the last part over a boulder field with only markings to guide you, followed by a steep, rocky descent to the Lasörlinghütte. This section asks for sure feet, previous alpine hiking experience and confidence in rough terrain. Count on around seven hours of walking that day.

2

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.

3

Clarahütte - Neue Reichenbergerhütte

Duration: 05:15 h

Distance: 10.5 km

Ascent: 730 m

Descent: 180 m

From Clarahütte, this is a serious alpine stage with 730 metres of climbing. The key part comes early: almost 3 kilometres through the narrow Dabertal on a T3 mountain path, narrow, steep and partly exposed, with a fixed rope in places. Sure feet, calm movement and a head for heights are needed here, and the short, steep drop to the Isel bridge just before it asks for care too.

After leaving Clarahütte, you drop to the Isel and cross into the Dabertal on path 311. Take the gorge section slowly, use the rope where there is one and don't stop where the path is narrow. In wet weather or with lingering snow, this is where the day gets tricky. Above the gorge the valley opens up and the climb builds steadily past the Regenbach waterfall and small alpine lakes to the Daberlenke saddle at around 2,630 metres, the high point of the day.

From the saddle it's a short stretch to Neue Reichenberger Hütte beside the Bödensee glacial lake, a remote hut deep in Hohe Tauern National Park. About 10.5 kilometres, count on 5 to 5.5 hours.

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. 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.

5

Bergerseehütte to Zupalseehütte via the Berger Törl

Duration: 06:45 h

Distance: 11.8 km

Ascent: 880 m

Descent: 720 m

This is the hardest day of the trek, so plan your morning around it. Straight out of the Bergerseehütte (2,181 m) the path climbs steeply towards the Berger Törl, the high point of the whole trek at around 2,800 metres. The upper part of this climb crosses a boulder field: no real path underfoot, just big blocks of rock with markings to guide you, and a steel cable on the final approach to the Törl. No climbing skills needed, but you do need sure feet and confidence in rough terrain. This is no place to rush.

On the other side of the Törl the descent is just as steep, over rock with a few exposed sections where you keep your concentration on every step. Most of the three and a half to four hours to the Lasörlinghütte (2,350 m) goes into this climb and descent. In early summer, snowfields can linger near the Törl. Set off early, go at your own pace and make the Lasörlinghütte your lunch stop.

After the hut the path heads east and the going gets much easier. A gentle climb brings you to the ridge crossing in the Hohe Tauern National Park, where the view opens along the valley towards the Zupalseehütte, and the last stretch runs mostly downhill to the hut. Just under 12 kilometres and 880 metres up, count on around seven hours of walking. Rest well the night before.

6

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.
