Over the Latzfonser Kreuz to the Kassian Peak
Perfect as a sunrise tour directly from Stöffl
This hike is a real challenge and not for couch potatoes! You need to be fit, as the tour is quite long and strenuous. But don't worry, the paths are mostly in excellent condition. Nevertheless, surefootedness is super important here! From Stöffl, you'll head upwards. The hiking trail, although dotted with a few stones, shouldn't really cause you any problems. After approx. xy km you'll reach the Latzfonser Kreuz mountain hut and its protective chapel, Europe's highest pilgrimage church. From there, continue uphill to the peak of the same name, the Latzfonser Kreuz, then to the Kassianspitze (2,581 m). Along the way, you'll also pass the beautiful Lake Kassian.
Our tip:
Ideal as a sunrise tour to experience a magical morning atmosphere, followed by breakfast on the terrace. The Stöffl staff will be happy to advise you on-site!
Alternative:
You can also do a really long hike from Vahrn to Villanders, also passing over the Latzfonser Kreuz.
