An idyllic valley, a rushing stream, a majestic glacier and a cosy tavern: this winter walk through the peaceful Lüsenstal Valley, a side valley branching off the larger Sellraintal Valley, is perfect for families with children. It leads along the cross-country skiing trail from Praxmar to Lüsens, taking walkers through a charming winter wonderland all the way to the Fernerboden and back to the starting point. The mighty Fernerkogel mountain towers high above with its glistening glacier overlooking Lüsens.

Trail description
From the pay-and-display car park in Praxmar, walk along the walking trail (trail number 102A) parallel to the cross-country skiing trail through the forest and down into the valley. Cross one of the bridges at the Alpengasthof Lüsens tavern and, on the eastern side of the stream, head along the cross-country trails and then the Glacier Learning Trail to the end of the valley. Cros over the stream once more, walk to a building known as the "Jugendheim" and then return along the way you came.
Food & drink: The Alpengasthof Lüsens is open in the winter months and serves an excellent selection of traditional Tirolean dishes.
