Larstigalm - Niederthai

The hike starts in Niederthai at the Sennhof car park. From there, you follow the gently ascending forest road along the Horlachbach into the Horlachtal. After about an hour, you reach Larstigalm. The path is easy to manage for children and elderly people as well as suitable for strollers/buggies. On the cozy sun terrace, you can enjoy Ötztal specialties and delicious sweets, and Larstigalm also has a playground for the little guests. From the starting point in Niederthai or for the return journey from Larstigalm, the two alternative high routes "Grastal and Bergmahderweg" are available, but these are not suitable for strollers/buggies.

Proper equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain and sun protection, hat, possibly gloves, is required for all hikes and routes. It is necessary to take a first aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions when hiking without the option to stop for food.
