Brand - Lünersee - Totalp Hütte | Brand

The tour starts at the valley station of the Lünersee cable car and begins with a small challenge, the "Böser Tritt". But this is no problem for sure-footed hikers. Alternatively, you can shorten this section with the Lünersee cable car. After the first ascent, you reach the Lünersee. The trail leads to the right along the Lünersee circular trail to the sign (no. 91.100). From here, head right upwards along the magnificent rock massif for the last few metres in the direction of the Totalp Hut. Return via the same path or via a somewhat more direct descent to the Lünersee. From the mountain station, take the Lünersee cable car for the last few metres down into the valley.

The path to the hut is also easily manageable for older mountain enthusiasts and children. The Beck family and team will spoil you with many delicacies from the Austrian cuisine as well as with their own specialities. From the hut you can enjoy an unforgettable view of the Silvretta and Verwall groups.
