Directions

From the mountain station, it goes once around the Lünersee. The hike around the Lünersee starts from the Douglass Hut. The path leads right along the shore towards Schesaplana to the Lünersee Alp. From the Alp, it continues until you go up to the viewing platform. Then back down to the dam and to the Douglass Hut.

A walk around the Lünersee takes about 2.5 hours and is therefore especially recommended for families with children. The Lünersee is the largest natural alpine lake in the Eastern Alps. Children and families discover the alpine flora in the plant protection area around the "Pearl of the Rätikon" during the hike and enjoy the unique panorama. With a bit of luck and patience, small and large hikers can see chamois, ibex, or marmots.

Equipment

good, ankle-high hiking boots with a good tread, hiking backpack including provisions and drinks as well as sun and rain protection, hiking poles recommended

Tips

On the sunny lake terrace of the Douglass Hut right by the turquoise-blue "jewel" of the Rätikon, you can fully enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery.
