Dösner Alm - Arthur Von Schmid Haus

Access to the starting point:
From Spittal, drive towards Lienz, but only as far as Möllbrücke. In this village you will see signs for Mallnitz and the Alpine road to Großglockner. Follow this road to Obervellach, where the signs for Mallnitz point to the right. After the village, the road starts to climb steeply and after a few kilometres of climbing, it leads to the alpine town of Mallnitz. Just before the train station in the town, the road to the right branches off in the direction of mountain pasture Dösner Alm. A steep and narrow road leads higher up to a less well-marked crossroads, where you continue along the dirt road below. Continue through a pasture fence and just a little further on you reach a parking area, where you park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the macadam road, which after a few dozen steps leads to a crossroads. Continue left along the wide cart track which, after a short climb, leads to the mountain pasture Dösner Alm.
At mountain pasture, we return to the road, which continues to climb upwards in a subtle way along the edge of mountain pasture. The road climbs slightly further and leads to hut Konradhütte (1600m).
Just a few steps further on, on the left-hand side of the road, we see a small lake, which rises at high water right up to the edge of the road. At the end of the lake, the road turns into a pleasant footpath, which then leads us up along the stream in a moderate ascent. After a half-hour climb from the Konradhütte hut, we slowly emerge from the forest onto increasingly scenic slopes. The path, which then became steeper and steeper, suddenly lays down and leads us to the beautiful high mountain pastures at hut Dösner Hütte (1976m).
There is a slight climb over mountain pasture to a slightly steeper part where you can hear the roar of a roaring stream. After a further 15 minutes, the steepness eases and the path leads to the high mountain cirque, where there is a confluence of several streams. Continue over the bridge, cross the stream and then climb up the steeper and steeper path. Throughout the climb, the roar of the Dösenbach stream accompanies you. When the path levels out, cross the stream again and the path leads you to the Arthur Von Schmid Haus mountain hut, which is situated by the Dösner See lake.
