Mountain hikes Panorama hike Luibisböden

St. Leonhard im Pitztal / Ötztal Alps
Difficulty ratings: medium
Route length: 7.4 km
Duration: 4:15 h

The Luibis meadows in the Pitztal Valley are a wonderful place for daydreamers. If you close your eyes, there’s absolute silence up here. When you open your eyes, you look out over beautiful alpine meadows and a small lake toward the sky-high Kaunergrat with the towering Rofelewand—it’s breathtakingly beautiful.

Tour character

An easy but quite steep hike to the beautiful alpine meadow of the Luibisalm. Its unstaffed alpine huts and the Kaunergrat in the background are one of the most beautiful sights in the Pitztal. There are no places to stop for refreshments along the way, which is why it’s not very heavily trafficked. It’s especially beautiful in the fall when the first section leads through a golden larch forest. The hike can also be extended to the Grabkogel and Moalandlsee or to the moderately difficult 3,000-meter peak, the Luibiskogel.

Description

Walk by a road to the left towards the broadcasting mast for a short while, then turn left onto a footpath leading in the direction of the mountain hut Luibisalm (not catered). This Alm is a peaceful destination for a day trip and affords walkers panoramic views high over the valley opposite the steep Rofelewand rockface (3,354 m). Continue on past a hunting lodge to the so called Luibisböden. Return via the outward route.
