Route description
The starting point is the Mostelberg top station above Sattel, where the Berggasthaus Mostelberg stands right at the start. The path passes the Lauitobel and crosses the Lauitobelbach at kilometre 0.4.
At kilometre 0.8 the highest point of the loop is reached at 1,199 metres. At kilometre 1.2 the Herrenboden awaits with the Berggasthaus Herrenboden.
Via the Mostel the loop closes back at the top station. The lowest point lies at 1,170 metres; the steepest section is a mere four per cent.
Technically the loop makes no demands and is therefore suitable for all ages, including small children. It can be walked from April to November. As the gondola from Sattel takes you straight to the start, the outing is quickly organised.
