Lanersbach brings together a range of options for planning your trip: a moderately difficult hike with a specified distance and walking time, the cable car ride to Eggalm, and winter activities such as a cross-country ski trail and ice rink. A listed ecclesiastical building and weekly summer concerts are also local highlights. Your choice can therefore depend on the season and what you want to focus on.
Rosary Trail and Parish Church
The Catholic parish church of St Thomas, along with its funeral chapel, is a listed monument under a preservation order. The entry in the Tyrolean monument register is dated 28 May 2024. The church in Tux-Lanersbach is also the starting point for the Rosary Trail, which leads to the “Kapellstein” forest chapel.
The trail is moderately difficult, 3 km long and takes about 1.5 hours one way. Along the way, it passes through the hamlet of Gemais and continues across the Pfistereben pasture to Lattenalm. The distance, approximate walking time and difficulty provide a concrete basis for planning your day; conditions can vary by season. If you are looking for a hike with these clearly specified details, you can plan it as a separate activity rather than equating its duration with a cable car ride or other hikes.
Take the Gondola to Eggalm
The Eggalm Bahnen gondola runs from Lanersbach to the Eggalm mountain station at an altitude of 2,000 metres. The mountain station is the starting point for numerous hikes. This makes it a different option to plan from the Rosary Trail: the route to the forest chapel has a specified distance, approximate duration and difficulty, while Eggalm’s mountain station is the starting point for further hikes. The gondola’s operating hours vary by season. Check the current operating hours if you plan to take the gondola on a specific day of your trip.
Getting There by Regional Bus
Regional bus route 4104 runs daily between Hintertux, Tux/Lanersbach, Finkenberg and Mayrhofen. The published timetable is valid from 30 May 2026. If you plan to travel to or between the places listed using this route, check the current timetable before your trip. This keeps your plans tied to the specific journey rather than relying on unverified departure times based on the daily service.
Winter Activities
In winter, the 2.5 km Auen cross-country ski trail runs between Tux-Vorderlanersbach and Tux-Lanersbach. You can access it at the ice rink in Tux-Lanersbach or at the Hinteranger bridge. The trail therefore offers a named route with two specific access points. Grooming and snow conditions may vary.
Tux-Lanersbach also has a large ice rink for skating. Both the cross-country ski trail and the ice rink are seasonal winter activities, so your travel dates and the conditions at the time are key to planning. The access points listed help you locate the cross-country ski loop, while the ice rink is a separate activity in the village.
Summer Concerts and When to Visit
The Tux Federal Brass Band gives weekly summer concerts from late June to September. If you would like to include a concert in your trip, use the stated period as a guide. For a winter-focused trip, the Auen cross-country ski trail and ice rink are the main options, although snow and grooming conditions may vary. This lets you distinguish between summer and winter trips based on specific local activities.
When looking for a holiday apartment in Lanersbach, you can start by deciding on your travel dates and what you want to focus on: a hike with a clearly specified route, further hikes starting from Eggalm, summer concerts or winter activities. If you plan to travel by regional bus or take the seasonal mountain cable car, checking the relevant timetable is part of planning your trip.
