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.

Tour character

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.
