from center

The hike to Grüblalm hut (2,038 m) is a particularly scenic tour in the upper Antholz Valley – perfect for those seeking peace and nature away from busy trails. The route follows a historic military road that winds steadily uphill through the forest in wide switchbacks to the idyllic alpine pasture.
