Hiking in Tauferer Ahrntal Valley

Discovering Luttach & surroundings: to Niederhofer-alpine pasture

The Rieserferner Mountains, the Durreck peaks and the Zillertal Alps are your constant companions during this rewarding excursion in Tauferer Ahrntal Valley. Enjoy the marvelous landscapes of this enchanting valley in South Tyrol.

The excursion

The excursion begins in St. Johann, 8 km distant from Luttach (get there by bus), at the Sandbichlerhof farm at 1463 m above sea level. On path 6 you have to walk to the viewpoint “Stöckl am Faden” and continuing your excursion on a not-signpost path you will reach soon a other viewpoint called “Obersteiner Holm” where you have an amazing view over the great mountains of Tauferer Ahrntal Valley and even over the Dolomites in the South.

Taking path 6 you will get soon to Niederhofer-alpine pasture, the destination of this medium-difficult excursion. To return to St. Johann and to Luttach take the same paths as to get there. The whole excursion lasts 5-6 hours.
