Hiking

The hike to Lake Wolayer begins at the parking lot near the Hubertus Chapel in the Lower Wolayer Valley. From here, you hike up the valley. A few switchbacks lead you to the Upper Wolayeralm, crossing a bubbling stream several times that cascades from the rocks.

You continue climbing through the equally beautiful Upper Wolayer Valley until you finally reach the destination of the tour, the shimmering turquoise-blue Lake Wolayer. Surrounded by a fantastic mountain backdrop, the lake offers a magical view. The Wolayersee Hut, right next to the lake, invites you to stop for a bite to eat. After resting here, you descend the same way.

August 22, 2022,Warum sich der weite Weg zum Wolayer See lohnt 🥾 – Nassfeld-Lesachtal-Weissensee

We have an early start today. Where? To Lake Wolayer. We had heard a lot of good things about the lake and had seen some great tours on Komoot.

After we have parked our car at the Hubertus chapel, we first follow a forest road. At first it started comfortably, but soon the ascent gets steeper and steeper. In some …

There are also sections that can be shortened using old paths or trails. The hike offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and runs over several alpine pastures. The climbs are sometimes quite …

Even the approach to the Hubertus Chapel was an adventure. The small road eventually turned into a gravel path, and after rain, several streams probably flowed across the path.

After the parking lot, the path continued uphill, sometimes steeply, sometimes gently, along the dirt road. We passed a large waterfall and the Upper Wolayer Alm (Upper Wolayer Alm). There were …

Quite a challenge for people from the flatlands of Tyrol like us. 9 km of steep uphill. But wonderful views and a snack in the Wolayer Hut strengthen our tired limbs.

The journey from the already remote Lesach Valley to the even more distant Lower Wolayer Alm is a source of anticipation. Franzi, our junior in a backpack, and I set off on a cool morning from the parking lot of the Hubertus Chapel. Despite its remote location, the tour is popular. Numerous hikers set out in good spirits. The exercise, …
