Hike at Karersee and Perlenweg with Laura

The hike starts at the parking lot of the Paolina chairlift valley station, a popular starting point for excursions around Karersee. From here, the trail initially passes the elegant Grand Hotel before reaching Karersee — a true natural gem with its crystal-clear turquoise water. The lake’s circular path runs along well-maintained trails and offers particularly scenic views. After circling the lake, a picturesque suspension bridge crosses a small stream, leading to the Moseralm hut.

From Moseralm, the hike continues along a forest road passing through the expansive Frinner meadows. This section is pleasant to walk and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and lush alpine pastures. After about an hour, you reach Pension Jolanda, where a cozy lunch break is planned. Here, you can refresh and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.

The return route follows the so-called Perlenweg (hiking trail no. 1A), which winds through shady forest at the foot of the impressive Rosengarten massif. The path is well marked and easy to walk, making the hike suitable also for families and leisure hikers. The total length of the tour is about 8 kilometers, with a walking time of roughly 3 hours.
