Development

Tourist development
The Wattentaler Lizum is the starting point for hikes and ski tours with relatively gentle, but partly avalanche-prone slopes in the mountain range. The area is ideal for professional alpine training all year round because of its large number of runs (depending on snow conditions) and peaks as well as the existing infrastructure (civil and military). During military exercises, the area is sometimes somewhat restricted. On shooting days, hikers must have passed the control post by 8:30 a.m. or 10:00 a.m. and left restricted areas.
The Lizumer Hut ( 2019 m ), which was completely renovated in 2006/07 by the Haller Alpenverein, is located in the Lizum in Wattental . The Alpine Club Hut is located at the intersection of international long-distance hiking routes: Via Alpina , Eagle Walk, Dream Path Munich-Venice , Olympiaweg Garmisch-Innsbruck-Cortina, Zentralalpenweg 02A , Glungezer & Geier-Weg 315 .
Neighboring huts are the Glungezerhütte (8 hours), the Tuxerjochhaus and the Weidener Hütte .
Summit Mass
Traditionally, there is a summit mass on the Mölsberg on the first Sunday after the Assumption of Mary . This is usually celebrated at the summit cross at 11:30 a.m., in bad weather, however, at 11:00 a.m. in the Christkönig Chapel in the Lizum. On this day, the Lizum military training area, which is otherwise closed to private car traffic, is open for cars with Tyrolean license plates (on designated paths, only multi-lane vehicles, no quads) until 10:30 a.m.
