Description

The hike begins at the starting point and initially heads left along a dirt road toward the transmission tower. After a short stretch, a hiking trail branches off to the right toward the Luibisalm. The trail leads to the unstaffed alpine pasture, which lies high above the valley floor as a peaceful destination with spectacular views and offers an impressive vista of the Rofelewand (3,354 m) across the valley.

The route then continues past a hunting cabin to the Luibisböden. From there, the trail leads straight ahead to the Luibiskogel, while a hiking trail on the right winds through a scree cirque to a pass, beyond which lies the picturesque Moalandlsee, nestled amid an impressive rocky backdrop. Sure-footedness and good physical conditioning are required for this section.

The return trip follows the same route back to the starting point.
