Dovolená v Sterzing/Vipiteno a okolí

The Dolomieu Trail goes across six mountain pastures from the Rosskopf mountain in Sterzing / Vipiteno via Ladurns into the Pflerschtal valley. Enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the Dolomites from Rosskopf and hike past the idyllic Alpine village of Valleming towards the Pflerschtal valley where Deodat de Dolomieu discovered the dolomite rock at the foot of the Tribulaun mountain.

A hidden natural spectacle reveals itself to hikers at the head of the valley called Ridnauntal: the waterfalls of the Burkhard Gorge, which can be reached by following a panoramic trail.

Starting from the mining museum in Maiern, a marked hiking track leads through shady coniferous forests alongside the Fernerbach, a babbling glacial stream. The romantic, approximately one metre wide hiking trail winds through meadows and forests, past lush mossy expanses.

The wild glacial stream tumbles over a steep precipice that is surrounded by trees and bushes. Wooden bridges lead to panoramic observation decks with breathtaking views of the bizarre Ridnaun mountains and the secretive heart of the vast gorge, enabling hikers to experience the amazing contact with the power of nature up close.

South Tyrol's highest refuge is located on the southern side of the Stubai Alps at an altitude of 3,195 meters. The Becherhaus was built in 1894 by the German and Austrian Alpine Club, but subsequently received several conversions and renovations. The latest renovation work on the highest building site in South Tyrol was completed in the summer of 2021 after about a year of work. The original construction period lasted from March to August 1894, for which 25 tons of material were brought from Maiern to the summit. In the same year, the hut was opened under the name "Kaiserin-Elisabeth-Schutzhaus". The name was then changed a few years later. The chapel "Maria im Schnee" was also built and can still be visited today.

Despite its impressive location, the refuge offers mountaineers running water, hot meals in the comfortable Stube dining room and space for 100 people; the fire safety equipment, technical facilities and energy-generation system are also up to date. The Becherhaus is open from the end of June to mid-September. Well-known peaks such as Wilder Freiger (3418 m), Zuckerhütl (3505 m), Sonklarspitze (3463 m) and Botzer (3250 m) round off the Becherhaus in the area of eternal snow. 

Starting from the head of the Ridnauntal valley in the direction of the Aglsbodenalm, you reach the Becherhaus via the Grohmann and Teplitzer refuges. After the Teplitzerhütte, past the picturesque Vogelhüttensee lake, continue on trail no. 9 over boulders and well-secured passages with wire ropes and step bars, crossing a moraine to below the Becherfelsen rock. The last part of the hike is via serpentines up to the Becherhaus. Mountaineering experience, surefootedness and appropriate equipment are essential! The way back is via the ascent path.

From Gasse, the route first climbs briefly, then mainly flat through paths that run largely in the forest, including a considerable section along the "Bahnweg" to Maiern. Then you change to the sunny side and return to the starting point on flat and slightly descending paths, including asphalted sections. Basically, you can get on this route almost anywhere. (Variant option: final section via St. Magdalena).

Escape from everyday life and enjoy nature on this popular half-day tour in Ladurns. You start at the Ladurns mountain station and follow the Ladurns circular trail in the direction of Hinkerboden. Impressive panoramic views and idyllic Alpine pastures await you along the way, including Wastenegg, Hirschlackn and Toffring. The route continues along the Dolomieuweg and the 6-Almen-Weg to Pfoffnberg, Hauseben and the Allrisstal valley. Along the way, the Ladurnerhütte, Edelweisshütte and Allriss Alm offer cosy refreshment stops. The end of the tour takes you down to the Bront power spot near St. Anton in the Pflersch Valley. A perfect place to recharge your batteries.

The running route located in the valley area starts at the Ratschings valley station. From there, the varied trail leads out of the valley to Jaufensteg. The circuit then returns to the starting point.
The route features a technically more demanding downhill passage and is ideally suited Fartlek training.
The route can be extended or shortened as desired.

Nice walk to the most famous waterfall in the Pflersch/Fleres Valley. The waterfall "Zur Hölle/All'Inferno" falls 46 meters to the valley bottom.

Cutting through pure white marble, which used to be coveted by stonemasons from all over the world and which shimmers here in every conceivable shade of green, the otherwise peaceful Ratschinger Bach stream becomes a raging torrent. By going down steep steps and over narrow bridges, you can get right down to the heart of the gorge, where a breathtaking natural scene awaits. The lower entrance to the Gilfenklamm gorge is in Stange/Stanghe, from where you walk along a level hiking trail to the entrance to the gorge, where the trail begins to climb gradually over bridges and along well-secured trails. Storming and raging, the wild waters of the Ratschinger stream tumble over numerous waterfalls, forcing themselves through narrow chasms between the steep cliff walls, which ensure that at the lowest, most impressive point - the so-called "church" - even the most dazzling sunshine is dimmed. Going from one bridge to another and up and down steps, you finally reach the end of the gorge. If you take your time, have good shoes and a camera, this hike is a memorable experience for all the family.

Open daily from 09.00 -17.00 (July and August 09.00-18.00)

Open from May 17, 2024 to November 03, 2024

The new Mushroom Trail starts at the kids playground "Aue"in St. Jakob in the Pfitsch Valley near Sterzing and extends one kilometer through the forest. Information panels along the themed trail inform hikers about the world of mushrooms, their reproduction, and their uses.

The Mushroom Trail is easy for everyone to walk and offers children and school groups the unique opportunity to learn about the life of mushrooms. Additionally, the themed trail provides visitors with an interesting recreational activity in the forests of the Pfitsch Valley.
