Scenic hike from Antholz Obertal via the Grüblscharte to the idyllic Ochsenfelder Lakes.
from center

The hike from Antholz Obertal to the Ochsenfelder Lakes is a peaceful and particularly scenic tour in the upper Antholz Valley. It leads through varied terrain, from forest and alpine pastures up into an impressive high-alpine landscape.

Starting from Antholz Obertal, the trail first climbs gently towards Lake Antholz before turning off towards the Grüblalm hut. The unmanaged alpine hut is idyllically set in a meadow and offers a lovely place to rest.

The path then ascends to the Grüblscharte, a mountain pass with impressive views. From there, the route continues to the Ochsenfelder Lakes, located in a quiet and remote high-alpine setting.

This tour stands out for its diverse scenery and peaceful location away from the main crowds. The return follows the same route.
