Route description
- From Alpbach ride the gondola only to the middle station. From the Kriegalm meadows path A40 leads up to the Kohlgrubenalm.

- The Panoramaweg brings you to the Hornalm. A short steep climb to the summit follows (100 m).
- From the summit descend on path R40 to the Dauerstoa Alm and the top station, then ride the gondola down. 6.5 km, 3 hours and 774 m of climbing in total.
Good to know
For children
At the top station are the Lauserland adventure playground and the Lauser-Sauser alpine coaster (paid separately).
Shorter option
If you'd rather not climb from the middle station, ride all the way up and climb to the summit on path R40 in the opposite direction.
