St. Leonhard in Pitztal: feel the closeness to Tyrol’s highest Glacier

St. Leonhard, with about 1.500 residents and covering 220km², is located in the upper valley of Pitztal. Its villages and hamlets are scattered along the narrow valley over a total length of 25km.   

During the summer season, St. Leonhard is an eldorado for mountain walkers and mountaineers. Mountain enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice with countless tours (for example to the highest mountain in Tyrol, the Wildspitze, at 3.774m) and into the magical world of Pitztal Glacier! The upper valley of Pitztal is highly regarded by alpinists. Tourism started here ever since the first members of German Alpine Clubs walked the valley at the end of the 19th century and soon after started to build the first Alpine Club houses.
