It offers a refreshment service with typical cuisine and the possibility of overnight stays. It is open seasonally and for updated information on opening periods and reservations, we recommend visiting the official website of the refuge: www.pfitscherjochhaus.com

Very beautiful up there. The trail is easy to ride from both sides :-)

Unfortunately, the ground is very loose. With normal MTB you need a lot of stamina and strength to drive the way - therefore more of a sliding piece 😒, but the return trip is all the better for that 😊

Crossing a national border is something special. Here runs the border between Austria and Italy, marked with a stone.

The border crossing to Italy via the Pfitscher Joch is one of the most popular and well-known transalpine stages. The ascent to the Pfitscher Joch from the direction of the Schlegeis reservoir is quite strenuous because of the subsoil. It goes over slabs and steps. The Pfitscher Joch rewards you with a magnificent view and a good snack in the Pfitscher-Joch-Haus. It is also used as a place to stay overnight.

Beautiful, crisp tour with everything there is (asphalt, gravel and trail) Unfortunately, due to the weather conditions, there were still a few smaller snow fields to cross this year.

If it's not foggy, there is definitely a great view of the valley. From Schlegeis Speicher it was a bumpy ride here, sometimes with sliding routes.

When going south, it's better to take the S0 Trail via Geiselalm up to 1550m MSL to the junction to the Eggalm and take the easy-to-drive S1 + single trail to Tux!
