Snowshoe hike on Heulantsch, Teichalm

The summit circular tour on the Teichalm and Sommeralm offers wonderful views and some places to stop for refreshments.

The Heulantsch circuit connects the Sommeralm with the Teichalm. The highlight of this beautiful alpine tour is the 1,473 m high Heutlantsch summit with its views: from the Plankogel over the Teichalm to the Hochlantsch. Several huts and inns along the way invite you to take a break.

The tour starts at the Teichalm. There is a lot to see around the Teichalmsee, including the Almenland's landmark: the wooden ox, which stands for ALMO beef production in the region. The lake also offers a wonderful alternative: an idyllic walk instead of snowshoeing! Directly at Teichalmsee, the Latschenhütte and the Almgasthof Hotel Teichwirt are a good option for a stop.
