A spot of active time-out for parents makes your holiday in the Alps so much more special

With north-facing downhill slopes making it all possible, a ski tour in the Pflersch Valley is a dream trip right through to late spring. The views are simply breathtaking even on the ascent as the imposing mountain formations of the Pflersch Valley Tribulaun and the Feuerstein Ferner with the distinctive Schneespitze draw into view. 

The Aglsspitze peak tour is one of the most beautiful ski tours in the whole land. A sure foot and good physical condition are an absolute must; skiers will be rewarded with breathtaking scenery on both the ascent and descent. No matter whether it’s powdery snow or firn, this ski tour in the southern Stubai Alps is simply unbeatable.

This fixed rope mountain tour is breathtakingly scenic, and begins at the Feuerstein. Heading into the valley, you cross the wooden bridge and walk along the Pflerscher Bach river. At the next signpost, turn right and head uphill. At around 1,500 metres a.s.l., the climb becomes a fixed-rope route (harness and carabiners required!). As you progress, the view on the tour opens out ever more, down into the valley and over to the peaks opposite, including the mighty Pflersch Tribulaun towering high above the Lampskopf. Alternative: At the fork in the road, it takes around 15 minutes to get to the Tribulaun mountain hut and farm and the magnificent Lake Sandes.
Descent: Left on trail no.8 and then take trail no. 6 at the crossroads. Then follow the signposts to “St. Anton”. After crossing the river (bridge), descend to the right until you get to your set-off point. Walking time: 6 h, Elevation gain: 1,260

The sunrise walk together with your landlady Anna to the Zinseler on the Penser Joch promises to be an emotion-packed experience. Start from hotel: 4.30 am. Return: 9.30. Walking time: 2 hours.

While the world is slowly emerging from the cloak of the night, we don our headlamps and take a leisurely walk up to the summit. Once we get there, we enjoy a warming cup of tea and marvel at the sunrise and the surround mountain peaks as the morning mist slowly disappears. After a souvenir group photo session, we set off back downhill.

On this mountain tour from St. Anton/Innerpflersch, trail no. 27 leads over the steep, rocky lands to the Allriss Hut (1,534 m). Along the Allriss river, the trail leads high up to the Allrissjoch (2,509 m), we take a left and make our way up the steep slope to the Wetterspitze summit (trail 34). The descent to Pflersch follows the same route. Walking time: 7 ½ h, Elevation: 1,480 m

The start of the Weisswand loop route with its beautiful views is the hamlet of Stein in Innerpflersch. From here, follow trail no. 8 for around 5.2 km and 900 metres of elevation gain up to the Tribulaun hut (rest point) at the idyllically setting of Lake Sandes.
From the Tribulaun hut, the route leads along trail no. 7 over to the Magdeburg hut (rest stop). Here, you cross a piece of land between the Hoher Zahn and the Weisswand. If you like, you can make your way up the roughly 130 metres of elevation gain to the 3,018 m peak of the Weisswand. On a clear day, the view sweeps all the way to the Zugspitze peak to the north, the Ortler Mountains to the west, and the Dolomites to the south. Head back along trail no. 7 to the Magdeburg hut and descend back to your set-off point along trail no. 6. Walking time: 8 h, Elevation gain: 1,740 m.

Set off from the car park in Innerpflersch, near the “in der Hölle” waterfall (approx. 1,465 m). From there, follow the signposts to the “Magdeburger Hütte”. Cross the bridge over the river and shortly afterwards take the old hut trail, no. 6, through largely open lands with grassy slopes and rock formations. The route is a gentle uphill at the beginning, and becomes steeper as you progress up to the Magdeburg hut. Walking time: 4 ½ h, Elevation gain: 960
