Something is brewing here: An interest in marmots and a love of mountain hiking are awakened on this exciting family tour. Another attraction: ascent and descent by cable car.
Marmots live in the high mountains, so families should be fit and in good physical condition for this hike on moderately difficult paths. From the Lazidbahn mountain station (Serfaus valley resort), the route takes you along the narrow Murmeltiersteig trail via Kitzköfpl to the romantic Furglersee lake and on to Komperdell, where you can use the cable car to descend to Serfaus. Walking time for the entire loop is approx. three hours, not including breaks to look for marmots.
From the mountain station of the Lazidbahn (S301), the path first follows the wide carriageway to Scheid (S217). From WW (S218) behind the lift station, the path leads to the Marmot Trail 25a, over the Kitzköpfl to the Furglersee (S211). From the Furglersee, follow the long-distance hiking trail 702 (Trail 21), crossing the Malfrist meadows to Komperdell (Kölner Haus).
Travel by train to Landeck-Zams railway station. From there, change to bus line 220 towards Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis.
By car, take the A12 to the Landeck exit, then follow the B171 and L19 towards Serfaus. Serfaus has traffic-calmed streets. Day visitors should park their cars in the car park at the entrance to the village and then take the underground to the starting point of the tour. Guests staying in Serfaus can drive right up to their accommodation.
Parking is available at the car park at the entrance to Serfaus. From there, you can take the underground railway to the village centre or the starting point of the tour.
