Hut hike Trail to the Ludwigsburger Hütte

St. Leonhard im Pitztal /
Difficulty ratings: medium
Route length: 8.1 km
Duration: 3:00 h

Many meters of altitude in a short time - your children will love that. The forest trail to the Ludwigsburger Hütte offers just that, with occasional views down into the Pitztal valley as proof that you can quickly gain altitude and spur you on.

Tour character

Starting from Zaunhof in the Pitztal valley, you have the choice between a forest trail or forest path to the Ludwigsburger Hütte, which stands at 1,935 meters on the western slope of the Geigenkamm. The forest trail, which is more popular with children, winds its way up over roots and stones. At the Ludwigsburger Hütte, a wonderful view of the Kaunergrat and, for children, a flat and an eight-metre-high climbing rock behind the hut await.
