from center

Get ready for an unforgettable mountain tour with two impressive peaks! The route takes you through diverse landscapes, past idyllic alpine huts, and up to spectacular viewpoints. Experience the magic of the South Tyrolean mountains with every step.

Itinerary

Start your adventure at the Gitschberg mountain station, breathing in the crisp mountain air and soaking in the stunning views of the surrounding peaks. The trail first leads you toward the Gitschhütte and continues to the picturesque Ochsenboden, where the first breathtaking vistas of the alpine landscape await.

From the Falzarer Joch, the ascent to the Fallmetzer begins – a highlight of this tour. The path along the southeast ridge takes you directly to the summit, offering an unparalleled panoramic view. The return path follows the same route back to the Falzarer Joch.

From there, continue toward the Gitsch, where you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking 360° view of the South Tyrolean Alps – the slightly challenging climb is absolutely worth it! The descent follows the southern side of the Gitschberg, passing sunny slopes and picturesque landscapes.
