Hike from the Laab Alm to the Neuhütt Alm & the Leger Alm in Petersberg / Monte S. Pietro
This relaxed alpine hike begins at the scenic Laab Alm and leads through airy forests and open meadows to two welcoming mountain huts – perfect stops to pause and enjoy. The first stretch is easy and peaceful, following a wide forest track that offers occasional views of the surrounding peaks.
Neuhütt Alm is known for its warm hospitality and delicious South Tyrolean cuisine – an ideal spot for your first break. The trail then continues through gentle woodland paths to the quiet and beautifully situated Petersberger Leger Alm, surrounded by wide pastures and alpine silence.
This circular route is perfect for families, leisure hikers, and anyone looking for a calm day in nature. It’s a gentle mix of natural beauty and local flavors – a hiking experience that stays with you.

After about 45 minutes, you’ll reach Neuhütt Alm (1,791 m) – a welcoming hut with traditional food and beautiful views from its sunny terrace.
Continue along trail [2] through a quiet forest until you arrive at Petersberger Leger Alm (1,770 m), peacefully nestled in wide alpine meadows.
