Home of Lässig Walk: The long-distance hike for real mountain moments
The Home of Lässig Walk in Saalbach Hinterglemm is more than just a hike – it’s a true experience for anyone looking for more than just scenic trails.
This isn’t about quick summit wins or short walks. It’s about wide horizons, endurance, and that feeling of being truly out in nature.
With around 22 kilometers, approximately 1,700 meters of elevation gain, and five summits along the way, this tour is one of the more challenging hikes in the Alps.
Hiking in its purest form
What makes the Home of Lässig Walk so special is its location in the Hinterglemm valley head.
Far away from the typical summer crowds, you’ll find an almost untouched mountain landscape. No gondolas, no busy trails – just peace, space, and pure nature.
The route takes you through a wide variety of terrain:
– shaded ascents
– open alpine plateaus
– rocky summit sections
– idyllic mountain lakes
This diversity makes the hike not only physically rewarding but also emotionally intense.
Highlights of the tour
The hike starts in the valley head near Lengau, leading you gently towards Lindlingalm before the first ascent to Schusterscharte begins.
You’ll gain a significant amount of elevation early on, which makes the tour efficient and ideal for warmer summer days, as much of the climb is in the shade.
Then the landscape opens up:
Wide alpine meadows, breathtaking views, and a calm, almost meditative atmosphere accompany you towards Mittagskogel.
A true highlight is the area around the Teufelssprung – a striking spot with spectacular views and a fascinating story.
The most beautiful section follows: the ridge hike towards Gamshag. Here, you’ll enjoy pure panorama – with views stretching all the way to the Hohe Tauern and across the SalzburgerLand.
