Lüsenstal in Tyrol

Information regarding Parking Lüsenstal at the end of the page.

The Lüsenstal, a side valley of the Sellraintal, offers a particularly impressive walk. From the parking lot in Lüsens, after a short hike upstream, you reach an impressive backdrop with a view towards the glaciers Lüsener Fernkogel and the Rotgratferner.

You can walk relatively flat towards the huge rock face and experience a landscape that would otherwise only be seen by alpine mountaineers. Some caution is recommended: especially in wet weather, you should pay attention to the risk of flooding, falling rocks or mudslides.

There are also numerous alpine hikes in the region for experienced mountaineers. For information on this, it is best to contact the municipality of St. Sigmund im Sellrain on +43 5236 566.
