Recharge your batteries in the mountains
The perfect backdrop for powerful hikes
As the first rays of sunshine break through the peaks, the snow slowly retreats and makes way for lush Alpine meadows – in spring, Kaunertal reveals its wild and powerful side.
Kaunertal is known for its unspoilt nature and impressive mountain scenery. As the long winter fades, the region awakens to new life – making this the perfect time for a hike to refresh both body and mind. One especially worthwhile hike is the route to Gallruthalm. This trail leads along peaceful forest paths before taking you through a spectacular 996-metre-long tunnel. (Be sure to bring a torch or headlamp!) On the other side, the wild, romantic setting of the Gallruthalm mountain pasture awaits – a place where you can feel the raw power of the mountains.
The Ibex Trail: pure Alpine energy
Have you ever wanted to encounter the true king of the Alps? Then the Ibex Trail is an absolute must. Starting from the charming hamlet of Plangeroß, right by the Sportalm, this route offers a good chance to spot these majestic creatures in their natural habitat – if luck is on your side. Ibexes are known for their strength and agility, and as you make your way along the steep path, you’ll find yourself honing those very same qualities.
Experience nature’s power: the Gepatsch reservoir
Another highlight is the loop trail around the Gepatsch reservoir. Here, the raw power of water and stone meet, and you can feel nature’s energy in its purest form. Surrounded by towering peaks, this is the perfect place to pause, breathe deeply, and let the mountain air recharge your batteries.
Your energising place in Pitztal
After a day of adventure, panoramic views, and fresh mountain air, return to the Alpine Resort Sportalm – and discover pure relaxation. Unwind in the Naturpark Spa, soothe your tired muscles in the Swiss stone pine sauna, and take in the sweeping vistas from the Sky Lounge. Afterwards, treat yourself to some hearty Tyrolean specialities.
