Top hiking tip – Furgler with Tieftalsee lake
A hiking tip for the adventurous on the Furgler – climb the peaks around Fiss:
Welcome, dear mountain friends and nature lovers! Today we would like to invite you to a particularly attractive tour in the Tyrolean Alps that is guaranteed to awaken your wanderlust. Pack your hiking boots. Join us on a fascinating journey from your favorite vacation apartment at Appartement Haus Sonnenterrasse in Fiss to the breathtaking peak of the Furgler.
Furgler hike: setting off for the Lazidbahn mountain station
Our adventure begins with a leisurely gondola ride from the Komperdellbahn valley station to the middle station, where we change to the Lazidbahn. The drive up offers the first picturesque views of the surrounding mountain ranges. These are sure to increase your anticipation.
From Lazid over the ridge to Scheid
Arriving at the mountain station of the Lazidbahn, our path leads us in a westerly direction to the Scheid at 2,429 meters above sea level. Even the start of our tour promises to be an exciting challenge with its narrow climb and boulders. Just follow the signs “Furgler über Tieftalsee” and the adventure can begin!
Steep ascent to the breathtaking deep valley lake
The path continues in a north-westerly direction, where it leads steeply uphill and then branches off to the west. We cross a few slopes with a slight elevation gain before the path becomes stonier and steeper again. The narrow trail leads us along the ridge, over scree and boulders, until we finally reach the crystal-clear Tieftalsee lake at 2,783 meters. A perfect place for a short break and a few unforgettable photos!
Furgler – The final ascent to the summit cross
Strengthened and full of energy, we continue our hike along the southern shore of the lake and follow the path that now leads us steeply to the summit of the Furgler. This part of the tour requires a certain level of fitness, but the effort is worth it: once we reach the top, we are treated to a panoramic view that is simply indescribable. From here, you can experience the vastness of the Alps in all their glory, and the summit cross is the crowning glory of our adventure.
Back to the sun terrace
After a long rest on the summit, we set off on our way back, filled with impressions that will stay with us for a long time. Back at the Sonnenterrasse apartment in Fiss, you can round off the day in your vacation apartment with a well-earned dinner and reflect on the day’s experiences. We hope this hiking tip has inspired and motivated you to lace up your hiking boots and explore the beauty of our Tyrolean Alps. Until next time, stay adventurous and full of discoveries!
We look forward to welcoming you to your favorite vacation apartment at Appartement Haus in Fiss!
