Intro
This is the ideal route for those who prefer an easy mountain ramble. It is especially suited to families with children. Because this hike is so close to the cable car and chair lift, it is very easy to use these to make the route shorter.
Description
After taking the Twinliner - the first double-decker cable car in the world - up to Alp Trider Sattel, a wonderful panoramic view unfolds from the panorama terrace, with views of the Switzerland - Austria - Italy border triangle peaks.
The trail around the Flimspitz starts a serpentine descent to Alp Trida (refreshments available here). It then rises gently as it leads the hiker through the countryside of Alp Trida, the «wilderness Alp». Here the landscape is dominated by the vast number of boulders left behind after a rock fall from Bürkelkopf, which gave rise to the name of the mountain.
Below Bürkelkopf and Bürkelspitze there are five marvelously clear lakes, all fed by subterranean water sources. After circumnavigating the lakes, the trail leads back to Alp Trida. There the path finally climbs back up to Alp Trider Sattel and the upper cable station. Alternatively, the distance could be shortened by making use of the Alp Trida - Alp Trider Sattel chair lift.
An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
