You’re halfway through your Kaiserschmarrn when the kids are already lacing up their boots. Welcome to the Sarntaler Alps, where every day ends in a cozy mountain hut and every trail brings new alpine wonders. Three days, two overnights, zero stress—this is hut-to-hut trekking made for families.
Your journey starts in the village of Latzfons as you hike up to the Klausner Hütte. The next day, you climb higher to the Latzfonserkreuz Schutzhaus, perched above the clouds in true alpine solitude. On the final day, you descend via the beloved Stöfflhütte and continue down to the wide-open Villanderer Alm. Every step invites you to slow down, look around, and soak in the alpine magic. For families curious about multi-day hiking, this is the perfect way to begin.

1
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.

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.

It’s a walk that invites you to slow down, take in the details, and enjoy the changing textures of the landscape. After just over five kilometers, you reach Stöfflhütte, nestled in a quiet clearing. It’s a warm and rustic stop, perfect for a relaxed afternoon, a slow lunch, and watching the clouds roll over the ridge.

Duration: 01:25 h
Distance: 4.94 km

Your journey continues with another easy-going stage through the rolling landscape of the Villanderer Alm. The path from Stöfflhütte winds gently downhill, never too steep, always open. The meadows stretch wide, and in the distance, the pale Dolomites remind you of where you are—and how far you’ve come. This is a day for light steps, soft thoughts, and the quiet joy of being exactly where you need to be.
