Kreuzwiesenalm Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

What a top alpine hut! At times I felt like I was in a hotel during my stay. Sauna with wood-burning stove and window with panoramic view, luxurious double rooms, 6-course menu for special occasions, the finest bean coffee for breakfast... This alpine hut is really of the highest standard and is still wonderfully down-to-earth and friendly. It is perfectly located, especially as a starting point for hikes. Chapeau, chapeau!

You can find all information about the alpine hut, opening times and prices here: kreuzwiesenalm.com.

Luson Alp and Rodengo Alp

Highlight • MTB Park

Up on the Rodenecker Alm you not "only" have a really enchanting view of the surrounding mountains. Various trails with different levels of difficulty also begin here. The Furcia Trail is highly recommended, a built approx. 5 km long trail with two levels of difficulty (blue (normal) and red (advanced)).

Starting point: The most popular starting point for hikes is the paid parking lot Zumis (accessible via Rodeneck).

Hiking: The terrain is gently rolling, stroller-friendly, and ideal for leisurely hikers. Well-known tours lead to the Astjoch or as a circular route via the Confinweg.

Coming from Mühlbach, past the bus stop, there is a parking lot on the right. At the end on the left you will find a tap. Very refreshing, here we have refilled our water supply.

The Lüsener Alm calls itself one of the largest plateaus in Europe. In addition, South Tyrol's longest alpine pasture - until today I had never heard of it and ended up here by chance because it seemed attractive to me in the Komoot planning.

A tour to the Würzjoch was actually planned. But after the path was closed due to storm damage, we switched to plan B. A tour on the Lüsner Alm, which was also very nice.

Compared to the Swiss Alps, the mountains in South Tyrol are a little lower and the climate is milder. That's why I'm using the time to go on some nice mountain bike tours in the alpine terrain in May. In this period there are not that many hikers, which makes outdoor sports - mutually - a little more pleasant. The …
