Wonderful hike, which scores with fantastic panorama!

The tour to Rantentörl is a popular hike that includes the opportunity to cool off in Lake Rantensee. We therefore recommend packing your swimming gear. The Ebenhandlhütte is also a great place to stop for refreshments (please note the opening hours!).

The valley bus, which runs to Lake Rantensee during the summer holidays, shortens the long valley route. This makes the hike from Lake Rantensee to Rantentörl feasible for young and old alike and a real experience.
