May 24, 2026, Laugen Spitze – Monte Luco

The Laugenspitze (Italian: Monte Luco) at 2,434 meters is the highest mountain in the Nonsberg Group in South Tyrol. The striking porphyry double peak consists of the Große Laugen (2,434 m) and the Kleine Laugen (2,297 m), which are separated by the picturesque Laugensee (2,182 m). Due to its freestanding location, it offers an excellent viewing platform over the Etschtal valley, the Meraner Land region, the Vinschgau valley, and as far as the Dolomites.
