Day 6 · Tue 27/07 24 min

Alpine walk in the Innerfeldtal

A gentle alpine meadow, doable with a child carrier

This valley path was chosen deliberately, as it has hardly any incline and is an easy walk with a child carrier.

Dreischusterhütte in the Innerfeldtal

From the Innerfeldtal car park near Sexten, a wide, almost level valley path leads across gentle alpine meadows to the Dreischusterhütte, manageable with a child carrier and, in parts, even with a pushchair. The backdrop of the Sextner Dolomiten is stunning, and along the way you'll find welcoming huts and streams for water play.

Day 7 · Wed 28/07 18 min

Swimming day at the Pragser Wildsee and an easy walk along the shore

Mountain lake and water

Check access arrangements for the Pragser Wildsee in advance and book a ticket, otherwise it's only accessible very early or late.

Not a bathing lake with drinking-water quality, but lovely for cooling your feet and for the walk along the shore.

Last lake day and finale in Toblach

Winding down at your destination
