Guided hike to the Spronser Lakes with hiking guide Erich Unterthurner

ONLY IN GERMAN AND ITALIAN!

Together with our hiking guide, we set off into the heart of the Texelgruppe Nature Park, home to the largest high-alpine lake district in Europe.

Route description: We meet in Merano at the train station and take the bus to Pfelders. From there, we hike to the Falschnal Alm (1,871 m – approx. 50 min). We then follow trail no. 6 up to Falschnaljöchl (2,417 m) and continue to Spronser Joch (2,581 m). Walking time approx. 2 h 20 min. From here, the vast lake plateau opens up before us. We then descend in about 1 hour to the Oberkaser Alm (2,134 m) for a lunch break. Refreshed, we continue past the Kaser and Pfitscher Lakes, follow the Jägersteig path to Mutkopf (1,664 m) and further down to the Hochmut inn (1,360 m – walking time approx. 2.5 hours). From here, the Hochmut cable car takes us back to Dorf Tirol, followed by a bus ride back to our starting point in Merano.

Walking time, trail type & requirements: approx. 7 hours, moderately difficult mountain trail, excellent physical condition, surefootedness and a head for heights required.
