Small Alpine Hike of Aldein
Südtirols Süden
The small alpine hike of Aldein starts at the alpine hut Lahneralm. From there you will hike a small, shady track through the forest, on a slight incline, to the alpine hut Schmiederalm. Once arrived, you can enjoy the view of the mountains surrounding Meran, the Mendola Ridge and the Ortler and Brenta group in the background. From there you will move forward through a forest road, first through the thick, shady forest, then on a sunny alpine trail to the alpine hut Schoenrastalm. The cows that graze in the summer month complete the picture of the idyllic Alp, and the sunny spot is an invitation to linger. From the Schoenrastalm we will continue on to a shady path through the Koesertal and then downhill back to the alpine hut Lahneralm, where local farmers tend to the sheep in the summer.
You can stop for a bite at any of the Inns, which will invite you in with plenty of traditional South-tyroelan dishes to enjoy. The Kids can have fun in the playground while you enjoy a snack.
Suitable as a family hike, not accessible with a stroller. Only the short hike from the alpine hut Schmiederalm to the alpine hut Schönrastalm is accessible with a stroller.
