Description

This hike through the snow-covered Fludertal offers encounters with animal tracks in the forest, breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, and at the summit of Katzenkopf, a cozy stop on the sun terrace or by the fireplace in the traditional lounge.

Starting at parking lot P15 near the Leutasch music pavilion, follow the main road towards the Katzenkopf base station. You can already sense the culinary highlight waiting at the summit. If you want to avoid the climb, you can take the cable car. Alternatively, the trail leads left between the houses to the edge of the forest and then continues on the hiking path to Neuleutasch. After a short section through the forest, you cross the main road, walk a bit along the street, and take the first turn into the forest.

The trail then winds gently through the picturesque Fludertal in soft switchbacks. Next, you follow a wide forest loop (keep right), which leads up to the summit of Leutascher Katzenkopf. On the sun terrace of the small Katzenkopfhütte (1,360 m), you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view as well as delicious Kaiserschmarrn. After a break, the path leads down the 2.5-kilometer toboggan run to Seewald and back to the starting point at the music pavilion.
