Description Turn-by-turn directions How to get there

Easy, stroller-friendly hike for little ones and adults to Häusler Sam, idyllically situated on a forest meadow. With animals, a sunbathing lawn, and typical South Tyrolean cuisine.

This easy hike through forest and meadow leads hikers to the operated alpine inn Häusler Sam, which is modestly located on a meadow surrounded by forest. A stopover is worthwhile to taste one of the many typical dishes of South Tyrolean cuisine, to rest on the sunbathing lawn, or to admire the many animals like donkeys, cows, or ponies.
