Vacances à Ahrntal

This region is little frequented by hikers. Yet this walking trail is a good alternative on hot summer days and also a good tip for people who love and look for peace and undisturbed places. Good physical condition is required as the uphill climbing is at times rather steep.

Through mountain meadows from one alpine pasture to the other…

This tour along the sunny side of the Mühlwalder valley is ideal in early summer and in autumn; in the summer it can get very hot. The fascinating thing about this walk is to stroll across alpine meadows, with wonderful views of the mountains surrounding Mühlwald, of the Pfunderer crest and over the valley. It is ideal for a hiking tour without using your car as you can use the public bus transport instead.

Since ancient times the population of Ahrntal was always closely related to its mountains. The south side of the Zillertal Alps, the Hohe Tauern and the Rieserferner mountains have left impressions on its surrounding life and people. Whereas years ago the high peaks were unaccessible and unclimbable, the situation changed with land surveying in the 19th century and the flourishing of tourism around the turn of the century. Alpinism can thus be seen as a foundation for tourism in Sand in Taufers. The valley became interesting as there was a lot of, until then unknown, new climbing territory which attracted climbers from England and Germany to conquer first ascents. Simultaneously, the need for mountain guides and the construction of shelters and paths emerged. The most famous local mountain guide around the previous turn of the century was Johann Niederwieser Stabeler, the most famous local climber of the modern era is Hans Kammerlander. The path gives us insight into the mountaineering of the valley from past to present times. Charts and symbols along the way. Trail conditions: forest road. Difficulty: easy, walkable from spring to late autumn.
