Mountaineering in Langtaufers in South Tyrol
The appeal of granite slopes
Feel right at home at dizzy heights? Then you’re sure to hear the highest peaks of the Ötztal Alps call. Numerous 3000-metre peaks can be scaled directly from our mountain refuge.
Experienced mountaineers cross moraines and rocky landscapes and climb up to the mightiest peaks of the Ötztal Alps, Weißkugel (3739 m) and Weißseespitze (3526 m).
Mountain fans can tackle the local mountain of Langtaufererhof, Nauderer Hennesiglspitze (3042 m), right from our front door. Wonderful summit experiences are also promised by Mitterlochspitze (3176 m), Falbanairspitze (3199 m) and Nockspitze (3006 m) with their impressive views of Weißseespitze Mountain. There is no high like adventure!
Rife with wildlife
Mountaineering with everything that goes with it. Alpine flora and fauna abound for those who don’t mind taking that extra step. Those who want to observe wildlife set off for Tiergartenspitze (3068 m)...
From Maseben upper terminus, Trail No. 19 leads towards the summit. In the hollow in front of the summit cross, the so-called "Tiergarten” (zoo), chamois can often be spotted. With a bit of luck, you’ll come across your four-legged alpine comrades, before a “Hail mountain” cheers your heart
