Autumn mountain hike in the idyllic Zirmtal valley 2.478m

Helpful facts

This hike in the Zirmtal Valley is certainly a special mountain hike. The Zirmtal valley is one of the most beautiful high valleys in South Tyrol with the idyllic Zirmtal lake and the Zirmtal Alm mountain hut.

We take our own car along the mountain road to the parking lot at approx. 1,500m (the last section is not asphalted). We first hike leisurely along the forest road, then on a moderate incline, becoming steeper and steeper up to the Bärenloch at 2,200 m, where you can already enjoy wonderful views of the Burggrafenamt and the lower Vinschgau Valley. After a short rest, you descend into the Zirmtal valley to the Zirmtal lake, where you can relax. Right next to the lake is the rustic Zirmtal-Alm mountain hut, where our host Max provides us with food and drink at lunchtime. The descent is on the other side of the valley to the starting point at the parking lot. This mountain hike is particularly recommended in October due to the colorful larch forests by the lake, a true natural spectacle of colors.
