> Stay in a cozy Gasthaus in Latzfons
> Explore alpine huts like Klausner Hütte and Latzfonserkreuz
> The perfect first hut-to-hut for adventurous families

It starts with a steaming plate of Kaiserschmarrn on a sunny Gasthaus terrace in Latzfons. You lace up your boots, and before you know it, your kids are bounding ahead on the trail. It’s the kind of place where marmots whistle from the meadows and the next hut is always a strudel away.

Welcome to the Sarntaler Alps — an untouched slice of South Tyrol that’s perfect for your first family hut-to-hut adventure. From Latzfons, you’ll trek via the welcoming Klausner Hütte to the spectacular Latzfonserkreuz Schutzhaus and down to the expansive Villanderer Alm. You sleep in comfy mountain huts and a traditional Gasthaus, and hike just the right amount each day. This is a great way to introduce the kids to the magic of multi-day mountain trekking. Alpine beauty, manageable distances, and a bit of mountain magic — it’s all here.

Itinerary

Day

Klausen – Latzfons – Klausner Hütte

Duration: 02:30 h

Distance: 6.48 km

Ascent: 660 m

Descent: 30 m

Your Sarntal adventure begins in the town of Klausen, where you take a short 25-minute bus ride to the village of Latzfons, the starting point of your trek. From Latzfons, the trail leads steadily uphill, away from the last rooftops and into the peaceful heart of the Sarntal Alps. It’s not a technical route, but it rewards hikers who take their time. With every turn, the valley opens up, the views widen, and the mountains begin to feel close. After a few hours of gentle but steady ascent, you’ll reach the Klausner Hütte, quietly nestled on the edge of the forest. The hut is simple and welcoming—a wooden bench, a plate of warm food, and if the sky is clear, a ceiling of stars to end your first day. Please note that the kitchen closes at 19:00, so be sure to arrive before then to enjoy dinner.

Day

Klausener Hütte - Schutzhaus Latzfonser Kreuz

Duration: 02:05 h

Distance: 4.6 km

Ascent: 420 m

Descent: 60 m

Today is slower, more reflective. The trail climbs gently, winding its way toward one of South Tyrol’s most peaceful spots: Latzfonser Kreuz. This is a place of quiet energy—high up, open, and sacred to many. The refuge nearby is small, and that’s the beauty of it. You eat together, share stories with strangers, and watch the sky shift into evening. A moment to breathe. A place to remember.

Day

Schutzhaus Latzfonser Kreuz - Villanderer Alm

Duration: 03:05 h

Distance: 10.2 km

Ascent: 80 m

Descent: 630 m

The descent begins, and with it, a change of pace. The terrain softens. The views open up. Meadows stretch wide across the Villanderer Alm, one of the largest and most serene alpine pastures in Europe. After days in the highlands, there’s a gentleness to this final walk. Fewer words. Fewer thoughts. Just the rhythm of your boots and the sound of wind in the grass. You arrive back in the world—not rushed, not tired, but full.
