Zimní turistika v Jižním Tyrolsku

The newly built Timmelsalm is located in the middle of a wide depression above the tree line, nestled between numerous three-thousand-metre peaks. The beautiful alpine pasture with its cozy terrace offers nature lovers a fantastic view of the Ötztal mountain giants. The ascents to the Hofmannspitze, Müllerhütte, Wilden Freiger and Becherhaus also lead directly past the alpine pasture. The Timmelsalm is one of the so-called "Gerichtsalmen" of the Passeier Valley. This is where the people of Passiria are allowed to bring their animals to spend the summer in the mountains. In early summer, sheep and goats are the first to arrive, followed by milking cows for the alpine pasture and galt cattle, i.e. young cows or those that do not produce milk.

The small alpine hike of Aldein starts at the alpine hut Lahneralm. From there you will hike a small, shady track through the forest, on a slight incline, to the alpine hut Schmiederalm. Once arrived, you can enjoy the view of the mountains surrounding Meran, the Mendola Ridge and the Ortler and Brenta group in the background. From there you will move forward through a forest road, first through the thick, shady forest, then on a sunny alpine trail to the alpine hut Schoenrastalm. The cows that graze in the summer month complete the picture of the idyllic Alp, and the sunny spot is an invitation to linger. From the Schoenrastalm we will continue on to a shady path through the Koesertal and then downhill back to the alpine hut Lahneralm, where local farmers tend to the sheep in the summer.
You can stop for a bite at any of the Inns, which will invite you in with plenty of traditional South-tyroelan dishes to enjoy. The Kids can have fun in the playground while you enjoy a snack.
