Hiking between fishing fun, Kaiserschmarrn & mountain carts
Werbung: dieser Beitrag ist in Zusammenarbeit mit Tourismus Gossensass entstanden.
Catching your own trout, petting bunnies, soaking up the sun with a plate of Kaiserschmarrn – and wrapping it all up with a thrilling ride down the mountain on a cart. Sounds like a dream day in the Alps? It is. In Ladurns, a small family paradise in South Tyrol, one highlight follows the next. Always included: crisp mountain air, curious kids, and unforgettable nature moments.
Heading into adventure by gondola
Your day kicks off at the Ladurns valley station. If you’ve got a guest card, there’s even more to smile about: the activeCARD Gossensass gets you 30% off the lift ticket, and the activeCARD Sterzing or Ratschings gives you 20%. Best part? The speedy mountain cart ride back down is included. As the gondola glides gently uphill, the scenery starts to unfold—meadows, forests, rugged peaks, and that wide-open view that gives your feet an itch to explore.
Setting off with a curious mind
Once you’re at the top, the tour begins nice and easy. The Dolomieuweg leads over the Teissljöchl—a family-friendly circular trail with soft forest paths, the scent of pine in the air, and rustling bushes that spark the curiosity of little explorers and send them off on a nature scavenger hunt.
Lunch break by the trout pond
After about an hour (including a few play and lookout stops), you’ll reach the Edelweißhütte, where the highlight of the day is waiting: a small mountain pond teeming with trout. And yes—everyone who wants to can fish their own trout! If you catch one, it’ll be freshly prepared and served right to your table. For kids, it’s pure magic.
While the trout is sizzling in the pan, there’s plenty of time to play and cuddle some animals: right next to the terrace, there’s a small playground and a bunny enclosure. The sun warms your face, the smell of butter and lemon drifts over from the kitchen, and happy laughter echoes from the swings. Simple moments, truly special.
Kaiserschmarrn with a view
Next stop: the Ladurnerhütte, about 20 minutes further down the trail. It’s the perfect place for a sweet reward: Kaiserschmarrn just the way it should be. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, with or without raisins, dusted with powdered sugar and served with a smile.
Just around the corner, the mountain carts are already waiting…
Speeding downhill on three wheels
To top it all off, there’s an extra shot of adrenaline: mountain carts! With wide tires, reliable brakes, and loads of fun, you’ll race 6.5 kilometers down the mountain. Around tight bends, across open meadows—sometimes slow, sometimes fast.
Kids over 150 cm can even take the wheel themselves after a short intro. Helmets are provided on site. Wind in your face, a shout of joy on your lips—this is what alpine adventure feels like.
