The hike to the Two Lakes Viewpoint is one of the most scenic tours in the Antholz Valley. Starting from Lake Antholz, the trail leads along beautiful alpine paths to a spectacular viewpoint. At the top, you can enjoy a unique view of Lake Antholz, the Lake Obersee at the Staller Saddle, and the surrounding mountains of the Rieserferner Group. Various route options allow for a flexible hike.

Itinerary

The starting point is the parking area at the Biathlon Center. From there, head to Lake Antholz (1,650 m) and continue along the right-hand side of the lake to the start of the "Almenweg".

Continue on trail no. 7A to the Two Lakes Viewpoint, where a stunning panorama of both lakes and the surrounding mountains awaits.

Details
For the hike, a good basic equipment is recommended: sturdy hiking boots, weather-appropriate clothing, as well as sufficient water and provisions. Depending on the route and your fitness level, trekking poles can also be helpful. Don’t forget to bring sun protection.
A particularly nice option is to combine the hike with a stop at one of the mountain huts along the route. This allows you to extend the tour at a relaxed pace and enjoy local specialties.

Take bus line 431 from the Olang-Antholz train station to reach Lake Antholz, the starting point of the hike.
