Welcome to the Pitztal – your hidden gem for a summer in the mountains

Here, in one of the most beautiful side valleys in Tyrol, nestled between glaciers and imposing peaks, you’ll find the ideal place to pursue your mountain passions – whether on your own or with like-minded people – and then recharge your batteries whilst enjoying deep relaxation. After all, our Pitztal is still a real hidden gem for alpine sports enthusiasts who value peace and tranquillity in the mountains.

In the Pitztal valley, you’ll find the perfect facilities for your mountaineering needs and just the right balance of exertion and rejuvenation, adrenaline and endorphins. Plenty of nature, little hustle and bustle – plenty of class, little crowd. Whether it’s mountaineering and high-altitude tours with spectacular views, challenging climbing routes, technically demanding and fast-paced mountain bike trails, trail running in high-alpine scenery, or – after your sporting activities – whilst relaxing on the terraces of our mountain huts and accommodation with views of the majestic panorama.

Here, guests become friends – and we’re happy to let them know where the best spots are for every kind of mountain sport.

Of course, there are also savoury dishes from Tyrolean cuisine and Tyrol’s highest breakfast as a special event.
