Speikboden Bergbahnen is a snow-secure, familiarly skiing-area in the valley “Tauferer-Ahrntal”. It contains 8 cableways with a total transport performance of 13.140 persons/hour. About 80 hectare of slopes has to offer enough liberty for everyone – from the summit (2.400 m altitude) to the valley (950 m altitude). Many alternations of the terrain and very wide slopes make happy beginners and professional skiers. In the summer the “Speikboden” is a fantastic hiking area!
The two ski arenas Speikboden and Klausberg including the two town lifts Weißenbach and Rein in Taufers form together the Skiworld Ahrntal. A single ski pass allows you to use over 74 kilometers of slopes while 21 lifts from 950 to 2.510 meters carry you to the mountain top. The covering artificial snow systems of the Skiworld Ahrntal guarantee snow all the way through.
BOUNDARY PATHS PREDOI-PRETTAU - BIRNLÜCKE
At the water devide between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea… Enjoy a walk along the banks of the Ahr river, with a breathtaking view of the mighty Dreiherrenspitze and backdrop views of Austria in the distance. The Birnlücke is a more pronounced mountain saddle high above the valley end of Ahrntal and can be seen every now and again starting in Luttach/Lutago. It separates the Zillertal Alps to the west from the Venediger Group to the east and is part of the water devide between the Adriatic Sea and the Black Sea. There is an old at the mountain incision that used to be a very busy trade route for the exchange of goods between Ahrntal and the Pinzgau in the Austrian Salzburg region.
The valley Bärental lies between the villages St. Jakob/San Giacomo and Steinhaus/Cadipietra in the Ahrntal valley.
Dear snowshoe hikers:
Because of their favourable location, negligible risk of avalanches and the large number of users the following hiking tips are suitable at all times.

A ROUTE ON HISTORICAL PATHS FROM THE AHRNTAL VALLEY IN SOUTH TYROL TO MAYRHOFEN IN TYROL AND BACK AGAIN
Route: Steinhaus/Cadipietra - Kasern/Casere - Plauener Hütte - Mayrhofen - Kasseler Hütte - Steinhaus/Cadipietra
5 days - 4 nights
The mountain tour is classified as moderately difficult - difficult and offers unforgettable moments. Sure-footedness, good physical condition, experience and good equipment are required.
The yoke crossings are known as the old paths of smugglers between the Ahrntal valley and Austria. Especially the Keilbachjoch. This prompted the Kassel section of the German Alpine Club and Martin Gamper, hut keeper of the Kasseler Hütte, to call this tour "Ahrntaler smuggler paths".
This region is little frequented by hikers. Yet this walking trail is a good alternative on hot summer days and also a good tip for people who love and look for peace and undisturbed places. Good physical condition is required as the uphill climbing is at times rather steep.
10 meditational spots are found along the side of the path until we reach the "Franziskus and Klara" chapel. By entering the symbolic gate near the car park you enter a new world. Furthermore, those who hike this path in silence will have a rich experience. The chapel is open day and night. The Liturgy of the Word (religious readings) can be celebrated by groups without asking beforehand. Any plan to celebrate the Eucharist (communion) should be reported to the "service for youth organisation", tel. + 39 0474 678119 or the priest´s office Taufers, tel. +39 0474 678060
Breath the sparkling air and enjoy the silence of nature!
Altitude: 1345 m - 1516 mRound-trip tour from the Sam to the Griesbach valley… The Sam cabins are truly picturesque, and from there you can marvel at the panorama of the entire Ahrntal valley, from the mighty High Tauern mountains to Luttach/Lutago at the beginning of the valley. In comparison to other hiking areas, this territory is not overrun with people and even during the high season you can enjoy a hike in silence and solitude. The round-trip walk to the Sam cabins and to the Griesbach valley can be done without using your car, you can use the public bus transport instead.

The four-seater chairlift "Sonnklar" takes you up to the mountain ridge, reaching the highest point of the ski area Speikboden at 2400m. Directly at the exit of the lift there is an viewing tower with photo point: 360° panorama with 150 peaks and more than 80 three-thousanders. Enjoy the wonderful view on the Dolomites with the Tre Cime di Lavaredo/Drei Zinnen, on the Zillertaler Alps, on the Durreck-group. The descent on the slope from Sonnklar to the valley station is a thrilling experience, given the difference in height of 1,500 meters - the largest of all ski areas in South Tyrol.
In summer the top station of the chairlift is a popular starting point for many hikes. The summit cross Sonnklar can be reached in a few minutes - the Speikboden summit can be reached in about 40 minutes.
6,2 km tobogganing fun! The toboggan run Kottersteg is reachable on foot from St. Johann/S. Giovanni, or with the ski-lift Klausberg in Steinhaus/Cadipietra.

Isolated, steep, with a marvellous view… Ascending the Schaufler is exhausting and steep. The advantage, however, is that even in high season you will not come across many people so you can enjoy the silence and the solitude. From the Hochlärcher Wasen alpine pasture, there is a steep narrow path to the peak of the Schaufler where you have a stunning view of the surrounding mountains. On top you must be sure-footed and you can not suffer from vertigo. For experienced hikers, however, the tour is easy.
As we walk along the "Knappensteig" path, passing by entrance to old mine galleries, we take a journey into the past and time when the extraction of ore was just beginning. Above the tree line, we feast upon a richly diverse mountainous world - in one of the country's most beatiful high valleys. The widespread distribution of the alpine cabins demonstrates the cultural imprint of people over centuries. The interesting remnants of glaciers can be seen in the form of old moraines at the Rötalm hut - and "Merbalm".

Walking time to the hut approx. 2 h

The observation tower at the ridge of the Schwarzenstein… North of Luttach/Lutago we can see the sharp spike of the Wolfskofel which stands there like an observation tower. It is situated at the end of the south-eastern ridge of the Schwarzenstein and is the landmark mountain of Luttach/Lutago. It also offers excellent views from the top, especially the peaks of Großer Löffler and Schwarzenstein seem very close. The Schönberg to the west and the surrounding panorama are the reward for the rather strenuous ascent. The summit area made out of limestone and dolomite is interesting from a geological point of view. On the top there is a short, exposed climbing section; therefore sure footedness and not suffering from vertigo are an absolute must.
