Hiking in the Antholz valley

An extensive and well-marked network of hiking trails expects you around the Mitterbrugge farm.
From leisurely strolls in the valley to the three thousand metre-high summits of the Rieserferner group – there is something for every guest. As we are passionate hikers and mountaineers ourselves, it is our pleasure to share our knowledge and experience.
We also rent trail maps and guides.
