> Hike the Sarntal Alps from hut to hut
> Easy trails, big views, and authentic South Tyrol vibes
> We book your huts, you bring the good mood

There’s a special kind of quiet in the Sarntal Alps. No crowds, no drama — just rolling ridgelines, panoramic views, and rustic huts where the dumplings are always hot. This 5-day hut-to-hut trek is made for beginners who want to taste the magic of the mountains without scrambling over rocky passes. You’ll hike through flower-filled meadows, over grassy peaks, and sleep in traditional South Tyrolean mountain huts with wooden bunks and a view.

This is Dolomites-light in the best possible way. Expect mellow trails, daily hikes of around 4 to 6 hours, and plenty of time to enjoy the scenery. Ideal for families, first-timers, or anyone looking for a gentle alpine adventure without the altitude stress. Pure mountain joy with just enough edge to keep it real.

Itinerary

Day

Tils - Radlsee Hütte

Duration: 03:58 h

Distance: 6.99 km / 4.3 mi

Ascent: 1370 m / 4495 ft

Descent: 10 m / 33 ft

Your journey starts in the quiet hamlet of Tils, where the trail immediately begins to climb. Through shady forests and winding paths, the valley slowly disappears beneath your feet. It’s a steady ascent—nearly 1,400 meters up—but there’s no need to rush. The rhythm of the mountain carries you. By the time you reach Radlsee Hütte, perched beside its namesake lake, the reward is more than just the view. It’s the feeling of having arrived, step by step, entirely on your own terms.

Radlsee Hütte – Schutzhaus Latzfonser Kreuz

Duration: 02:45 h

Distance: 8.09 km / 5mi

Ascent: 420 m / 1378ft

Descent: 410 m / 1345ft

From the quiet morning stillness of Radlsee Hütte, the trail leads you across open ridgelines and soft alpine meadows. The elevation changes come and go gently—enough to feel, but never overwhelming. Along the way, you catch wide views of the valleys on both sides and pass small chapels and cairns that mark this old pilgrim’s route. The path eventually brings you to Schutzhaus Latzfonser Kreuz, one of the highest pilgrimage sites in South Tyrol. It’s a peaceful place—humble, high up, and surrounded by sky. A good place to pause and simply be.

Schutzhaus Latzfonser Kreuz – Stöfflhütte

Duration: 02:27 h

Distance: 7.23 km / 4.5mi

Ascent: 250 m / 820ft

Descent: 490 m / 1608ft

The day begins high up, where silence feels natural. Leaving Latzfonser Kreuz, the trail slowly descends across rolling ridgelines and quiet alpine grasslands. The pace is light, with a few gentle climbs and wide-open views that stretch far into the Sarntal Alps. You arrive at Stöfflhütte just as the trail softens into pine forest. Tucked into a clearing on the Villanderer Alm, the hut feels like a hidden resting point—simple, sunny, and just right for a slow afternoon.

Day

Stöfflhütte – Rittner Horn Haus

Duration: 02:59 h

Distance: 8.85 km / 5.5 mi

Ascent: 380 m / 1247 ft

Descent: 170 m / 558 ft

You leave the quiet charm of Stöfflhütte behind and head toward one of the most panoramic points of the entire trek. The path rises gradually, with gentle ups and downs across alpine pastures and through clusters of pine. You walk in rhythm now—settled, steady. As you approach the Rittner Horn Haus, the world opens up. The hut sits high above the valleys, offering views that stretch all the way to the Dolomites. It’s a place that invites you to stay a little longer, sit back, and let the light shift across the peaks.

Day

Rittner Horn Haus – Waldbruck

Duration: 04:26 h

Distance: 11.1 km / 6.9 mi

Descent: 1770 m / 5807 ft

The last day begins high and open. From Rittner Horn Haus, you step into the morning light with the mountains still around you, but the path already leaning downward. What follows is a long and steady descent—over meadows, into forest, and eventually back to the valley floor. With more than 1,700 meters of descent, the day is gentle on the spirit, but demanding on the legs. It’s the kind of walk where silence settles in. No more climbs, no more ridgelines—just the sound of your boots and the rustle of trees as you return, slowly, to the world below. In Waldbruck, the trek ends. Not loudly. Not suddenly. Just naturally.
