Description

The starting point of the hike is the Wildpark in Mathon. From there, the route follows a track to the Larein Alpe lodge. Alternatively, this section can be travelled by taxi offered by the lodge. From there, the trail runs along the Lareinbach stream through the picturesque Lareintal valley, surrounded by an imposing mountain backdrop. The ascent to the Ritzenjoch starts at the end of the valley. After the crossing, the trail leads to the Heidelberger Hütte lodge, where you can take a break. For the way back to Ischgl, you can either use the lodge taxi (on request) or cover the route by foot.
