DESCRIPTION
Easy excursions with snowshoes on the Alpe di Luson.
The Lüsner Alm is a spacious hut with a fantastic view of the surrounding mountains. It is a very popular tourist destination as it offers numerous excursions in all seasons.
The excursion with snowshoes that we offer is very simple: there are no particular technical difficulties and not even places that are extremely dangerous for avalanches. The panorama from the summit of Astjoch is also splendid: the Vedrette di Ries, the High Tauern, the Dolomites, the Isarco and Pusteria valleys.
