Winter wonderland Lüsen

TOBOGGANING AND HIKING IN WINTER

Lüsen is a hiking paradise all year round, also in winter. During the cold season, nature can relax noticeably. During hikes through the snowy forest, you can enjoy the peaceful, calm atmosphere far away from the big skiing areas, the eyes are captivated by the view, and the fresh air inspires the soul. Furthermore, you can perfectly combine a beautiful winter hike with tobogganing: a walk through the forest and then a speedy descent back to the valley – a lot of fun for young and old! You can toboggan from the Kreuzwiesen mountain hut following the forest road depending on the amount of snow to Oberflitt or Flitt, from Tulperhof to Tulper Gampis, from Petscheid to Kalkofen, from Rastnerhütte mountain hut following the forest trail to Herolerhof inn. Furthermore, for tobogganing fans, a trip to Plose near Brixen is worth it: here, you can rush down the 10-kilometer-long RudiRun. In the untouched nature of the Lüsen Alp, there are uncountable hikes in the winter landscape.

This romantic winter hike is 9.5 kilometers long and takes approximately 3.5 hours with an altitude difference of 410m. Starting point is the Stadl at 1,600m above sea level. From here you can go on to Kalkofen and then to Mülleralm and Würzjoch (2,008m). Here, the descent starts following the street northward to the parking space “Geweihte Wasser” through the Schwarzbachtal valley back to the Stadl parking lot. Alternatively, you can hike back to the valley on the family-friendly toboggan run, the route remains the same.

This easy, quite flat hike takes you to Pianer Chapel and back to the starting point in about 3 hours, walking for 8 kilometers with 150m altitude difference. From the Zumis parking lot at 1,749m above sea level, follow the pasture road in the direction of Ronerhütte and on to Pianer Chapel. The way back follows the same route. If you have some time and energy left, it’s a great idea to extend the route a little and hike to Rastnerhütte.

This is a demanding hike with a steep ascent and descent starting at Lüsnerhof. You go on in the direction of Gargitt and Bacher Alm, to Kreuzwiese and Gostsalm and then back to Lüsnerhof. The hike takes approximately 4.5 hours and is 9 kilometers long. On the way, you will overcome an altitude difference of 750m.

SKIING IN AND AROUND LÜSEN

The 2,500m high Plose is the local mountain of the episcopal city of Brixen and can be reached in no time from Lüsen. Twice a day, the free ski bus takes you from Lüsen to the skiing area, which is 13km away, and back to Lüsen in the afternoon. On the Plose with its guaranteed snow and sunny conditions, 40 kilometers of slopes, 19 slopes of different difficulty levels with 9 ski lifts, and South Tyrol’s longest slope to the valley, the 9km long Trametsch, are waiting for you. Another highlight is the unique Dolomite scenery and the Puez-Geisler nature park at your fingertips. Furthermore, here it is much calmer than in the typical Dolomite hotspots. Beginners of every age can learn skiing in front of the Lüsnerhof: the not so steep slope is ideal for your first turns – ideally with the help of a professional skiing instructor.
