Ascent to Laugensee

Highlight • Trail

A very "demanding" path, which is actually only recommended uphill: Very steep, sometimes very high steps and a lot of scree, exhausting downhill and absolute surefootedness required

Highlight • Viewpoint

After the steep ascent from Gampenjoch, you are rewarded with a wonderful view for the first time. And with a little luck you can harvest blueberries.

Very nice but also difficult route through forest and across meadows. Only suitable for experienced hikers in good physical condition.

Great weather and Saturday. It feels like half Bozen and half Meran had the same destination as us today and we were lucky that we got a parking space at the pass. The ascent through the forest was super steep, after that it got better. Was a great tour 😀

First, we took the bus up to the Gampen Pass.
Once there, we followed the forest path to the Laugenalm. Very relaxing to walk 😉
From the Laugenalm, the trail changed. Gorgeous green, thinning forest, juniper, alpine roses, heather... and ever upwards. Little by little, the panorama opened up. Incredibly beautiful. And I had to stop again and again for …

Today was Laugen day without pretzels but with a bag of gummy bears: Laugensee, Laugenspitze and the unfortunately closed Laugenalm. Very nice round that is absolutely worth it with an incredible 360 degree view. The path up is quite steep with a thousand steps, but it is much nicer than the descent from the Laugenalm back to the pass. Happiness …

We skipped the …
