Further information and useful links

The starting point of this circular hike is the parking lot in the hamlet of Dun. From here, the Alpine Hut Trail begins. First, follow trail no. 17 uphill for a short distance before turning right onto trail no. 13A. After a while, continue left on trail no. 13 and later on trail no. 18 to the Egger-Bodenalm with its cheese dairy.

After passing the hut, the trail continues for a short distance before turning right along the hillside to trail no. 13. Follow it to the junction with the Pfunderer High Trail. Turn right again towards Kuhscharte Pass and continue for a short section along the newly built forest road. The route leads to the Gampiel Alm, which offers panoramic views over the Pfunderer Valley as far as Mount Peitler Kofel (Sass de Putia). Families will also enjoy the hut's small petting zoo.

The descent follows the forest road down to the Egger farms. From there, continue on trail no. 13 and finally turn left onto the "Old Path". The circular hike ends back at the parking lot in the hamlet of Dun.
