It is something very special - the Tyrolean Pitztal valley, which hides between the Ötztal and Kaunertal valleys: on 380 kilometre of hiking trails, gigantic waterfalls, the highest mountain lake in Tyrol, icy glacier areas and far-reaching views in the postcard motif await you. No matter whether you decide for the high alpine challenges with unforgettable panoramic views or for a leisurely alpine hike, where enjoyment comes first. In the hiking areas at the Hochzeiger, Rifflsee and Pitztaler Gletscher you will find comfortable lifts for ascent and descent. This way you and your whole family can breathe high alpine air. If you prefer to explore the seclusion of the mountain world without a lift, the Pitztal valley offers plenty of opportunities for hiking and mountaineering too.

With our eight varied tours you will surely find the right hike. Everyone as he likes' is the motto of the Pitztal Valley and also an ideal guide for hikers in the most beautiful side valley of the Eastern Alps.
