NIEDERTHAI SENNHOF PARKING LOT -> Larstigalm -> KLEIN HORLACHALM
Easy hiking trail; suitable for beginners and walkers
Please observe the current weather report
Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain and sun protection, hat, possibly gloves, is required for all hikes and routes. Bringing a first aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly a hiking map, as well as enough provisions for hikes without options to stop for food, is necessary.
The hike begins in Niederthai at the Sennhof parking lot (next to the information center). From there, you follow the gently ascending forest road along the Horlachbach stream into the Horlach valley. After about an hour, you reach the Larstigalm and walk comfortably past it. The path briefly goes steeper uphill and then continues flat to a bridge. Crossing the wooden bridge on the left, you follow the wide hiking trail directly to the Klein Horlachalm. The easy hiking route is also very suitable for families and strollers/buggies. For the return, you can take the same route or alternatively, from Larstigalm, one of the two high-altitude trails Grastal or Bergmahderweg, which are however "not" suitable for strollers.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL train station. Afterwards, you travel conveniently and quickly through the entire valley to your desired destination by public bus or local taxi companies!
