General description
The lovely mountain hike on the summit of the Lauwandspitze requires mountain experience and is aimed at competent hikers. In return it offers breathtaking summit views and lasting memories.
Route description
The starting point of this wonderful hiking tour is the Taser Alm hut, which you can reach by cable car. The first section takes you along trail 18A through meadows and forests, slightly ascending to the Ifingerhütte hut. From there, you hike right up the slope through larch forests towards Lenzeben. Here, the trail branches off to the left up to the tree line to the Egger Jöchl. From here, the last challenging meters lead you up to the summit cross of Lauwandspitze peak.
The return follows the same route as the ascent.
Alternatively, you can take the turn-off (No. 18) below the Ifingerhütte, descending through the forest somewhat steeply to the Eggerhof and then return to the Taser Alm hut on the Taser Höhenweg, which traverses the slope at an even level.
