Discovering the Mountains Together

Family Trails

Kühtai is the perfect place to spend quality time with your family in the mountains. The diverse network of hiking trails offers plenty of variety, even for children. Along the way, you’ll find numerous highlights, big and small: clear water to play in, horses and cows, and forests that offer plenty of space to explore and discover.

Three Lakes Loop

The DreiSeenBahn takes you quickly up to 2,410 m. From there, walking past the Upper Plenderlessee, it takes just 8 minutes to reach the DreiSeen Hut at 2,311 m, which is located directly on the Lower Plenderlessee. It features a sun terrace and a large playground. The descent then takes you past the Middle Plenderlessee, on to the Hirschebensee (2,164 m), past the Kühtai High-Altitude Training Center, and back to the valley station.
