Tour description:

This easy circular hike with spectacular views leads through the colorful alpine landscape surrounding the Obersee at the Staller Sattel. Especially during the blooming season in early summer, the area on the border between East Tyrol and South Tyrol is at its most beautiful. The Obersee is known for its impressive stands of alpine roses and offers a unique experience of nature.

The starting point is the parking lot at Malga Staller on the Staller Sattel. From there, we follow the trail toward Obersee and reach the national border between Austria and Italy after just a few minutes. Along the lakeshore, we’re accompanied by bright red alpine roses and magnificent views of the crystal-clear waters of Obersee.

On the left, a short, easy climb branches off to the “Zwei-Seen-Blick” viewpoint. From here, an impressive panorama opens up onto Lake Obersee in East Tyrol and Lake Antholz on the South Tyrolean side—two lakes, two valleys, and two countries at a glance.

After a leisurely rest, the loop leads back to the main trail. The trail continues past the Heldenkreuz, which towers on a small hill above the lake and offers a particularly beautiful view of the surrounding mountains.

We then take a leisurely hike to the Gasthaus Obersee, which is located right on the lakeshore and invites you to stop for a bite to eat. From the sun terrace, you can once again enjoy the view of Lake Obersee and the surrounding peaks.

The return trip is a relaxing walk along the lake back to the starting point at Malga Staller. A short, family-friendly loop hike with magnificent views, impressive alpine rose blooms, and plenty of photo opportunities.
