Berghütte Maseben

Berghutte Maseben

The route via the Maseben mountain hut, through the small ski area and with the great trail descent towards the Melager Alm is a somewhat inconspicuous, but very rewarding trail loop in the Langtauferer Tal valley in Reschen.

Description

The route starts in the Langtauferer Tal valley at the lift parking lot. From here, you wind your way up the feeder road via the Maseben Alm to the Maseben mountain hut (2267 meters above sea level). From this altitude, you are already above the tree line and have fantastic views to the north of the Weißseespitze and back to the Langtauferer Ferner. The 17er hiking trail towards Rotebenkopf is high alpine and partly pedalable. E-mountain bikers clearly have the edge here. Once you reach the highest point of the tour in the basin, you take a single trail with a maximum difficulty of S2 back to the Melager Alm (1970 meters above sea level). The hairpin bends are fantastic and you work your way down bit by bit. From the Melager Alm, you then head back down the Melager Tal valley along the last trail sections to Melag. Here, however, special attention must be paid to the trail closures, as the water has unfortunately done a great job in recent months and years. The last few meters are then on asphalt back to the starting point.
