Summer holidays with your children in South Tyrol

Family hikes in Pustertal Valley

The Obermoarhof in South Tyrol is the ideal starting point for many walks and hiking tours in the family-friendly alpine region Gitschberg-Jochtal with more than 40 cosy and welcoming Alpine huts.

Starting from our farm, you can undertake beautiful walks and hikes, e.g. to the sunny town of Terenten, to the waterfall (ca. 15 minutes walk), or make the tour of the town.
Through Vintl runs also the famous Tyrolean Way of St. James, which stretches from Winnebach to Brennero in 6 stages.
The valley Pustertal in South Tyrol is a real hiking paradise for families. You should walk on the Rodenegger Alm, a beautiful sunny tableland with breathtaking view on the Alpine peaks and Dolomites. Also the Fane-Alm, the most beautiful village of wooden Alpine huts in South Tyrol, is unique. From there start many hiking tours to the refuge Brixner Hütte, to lake Wilder See or to the peak Wilde Kreuzspitze. The Gitschberg, which overtops our holiday area, offers a sovereign panorama of the South Tyrolean mountains.
Also biker and mountain biker will find many trails: the bicycle route of the Pustertal passes near our farm. The challenging mountain bike route from Munich to Venice across the pass of Pfunders runs through the valley.
Discover the holiday region Gitschberg-Jochtal with the Almencard.
We propose you many hiking tours, give you hints when you are planning your day and suggest some places of interest along the route.
