Hike into the South Tyrolean Pfitschertal Valley
For pleasure hikers, a walk along the Schlegeis Reservoir is a real treat with glorious views of the Zillertaler Alps. Another tip for a hike is the climb through the scenic high valley "Zamser Grund" to the "Pfitscher-Joch-Haus" at 2,277 m altitude, which is already in South Tyrol.
The marked paths have different degrees of difficulty and hiking times, so that you can certainly find something to suit your wishes.
It is worth stopping and standing still sometimes on the various hiking paths, in order to look or listen more carefully. Patience is often rewarded with wonderful discoveries...
You can find impressions, tips for hiking routes, an experience exhibition and much more at the Gerlos nature reserve building, directly along the Schlegeis Alpine Road. Toll tickets for the drive up to the Schlegeis Reservoir are also available there.
