Autumn holiday in the Pitztal Valley

Time for new mountain experiences on the roof of Tyrol

When the forests turn golden and the mountain peaks are already covered in the first snow, the Pitztal reveals its most atmospheric side. Crisp mountain air, peaceful trails and impressive views make autumn the perfect time for active days in the mountains. And whilst autumn still glows down below, up above the anticipation of winter is already building.

Autumn moments

As summer draws to a close, things's in the Pitztal valley really come into their own: with fantastic hikes through the colourful valley and mountain hut cuisine, or with a head start on winter on the glacier. Autumn in the Pitztal has the best of both worlds.
