Hiking

There’s a peaceful, secluded air in Val Passiria/Passeiertal, where the Stubai, Ötztal, and Val Sarentino/Sarntal Alps draw closer and closer together and the Gruppo di Tessa/Texelgruppe shines in all its splendour. Locals and tourists alike are enticed upwards into the mountains. A close-knit network of hiking trails and mountain tours extends out in Alta Val Passiria/Hinteres Passeiertal and calls you to embark on unforgettable adventures. The paths lead you to idyllic mountain lakes like Lake Seeber See, Lake Erensee, or Lake Nero/Schwarzsee, to countless mountain huts and ancient mountain farms, high up to majestic peaks like Mt Cima Clava/Kolbenspitze or Mt Altissima/Hohe Wilde, and down deep into Passirio/Passer gorge, which was formed over the course of millennia by the tempestuous melt water and the rocks it carried along with it, one of the most spectacular gorges in South Tyrol. On the exciting themed trails and guided hikes in the Gruppo di Tessa/Texelgruppe Nature Park, you’ll learn all kinds of fascinating details about flora and fauna, place and people. Thanks to its unique location, Alta Val Passiria/Hinteres Passeiertal is traversed by well-known long-distance hiking trails, with the Meran high mountain trail, the E5 European long-distance path, the Tyrolean high mountain trail, and the Romedius pilgrimage trail connecting north to south.

Climbing

Overcome gravity. Slowly feel your way upwards on the rock. Pause and seek new possibilities. Climbing is like active meditation. Incredibly freeing. In Moos im Passeiertal, you’ll discover limitless freedom, as there are climbing options galore. As well as the climbing garden in Stuls with its 65 different routes, you can also put your skills to the test in the Bergkristall climbing garden in Pfelders, Zoll climbing garden between St. Leonhard and Moos in Passeier, and in the climbing garden in Moos. The “Stuller waterfall” via ferrata, right next to the third-highest waterfall in Europe (342 metres), is spectacular in every respect.

Biking

You might not be able to buy happiness, but you can certainly cycle your way to it. Myriad road bike routes take you past the lush-green meadows in the valley, along the bank of the Passirio/Passer river, up Passo Giovo/Jaufenpass, and to Passo Rombo/Timmelsjoch, which marks the border to Austria. Scaling Passo Rombo/Timmelsjoch by bike is without a doubt one of the most extraordinary experiences you can collect on holiday. Countless serpentine bends snake their way up the mountain for 34 kilometres until reaching the pass at 2,509 metres above sea level. The view of the surrounding mountain world is just as awe-worthy as the five gigantic sculptures by renowned South Tyrolean architect Werner Tscholl that line the route. The extraordinary artworks tell the story of the pioneers of road building, the smuggling tradition, Europe’s once-highest mine, and the miraculous power of stone pine.

Summer adventures

Summer holidays in Moos im Passeiertal mean infinite natural experiences. Take a seat on the banks of the softly splashing river or the shore of the deep-blue mountain lake, soak up the soothing peace, and cast your line into the water. Dive into a fascinating world of moss-blanketed rocks and smooth stone walls, adventurous cascades, and calm stream pools during a guided canyoning experience. Soar over Passirio/Passer gorge while tarzaning or discover the treasures of Val Passiria/Passeiertal from horseback. If you feel the need for speed, rent a mountain cart from the mountain station of Grünboden lift in Pfelders and enjoy high-velocity fun.

Skiing

The sun shines gently down on the wide, snow-blanketed mountain slopes. The white, fairy-tale winter landscape stands out against the bright-blue sky as the locals companionably make their way to the ski slopes. In traffic-calmed Pfelders, a small yet rich ski area awaits you with guaranteed snow and a wide variety of runs. Here, families with children will have the time of their lives while ski pros prepare for the upcoming world-cup races on the steeper slopes. Soul-enriching bliss also awaits you away from the groomed slopes while ski touring. Moos im Passeiertal is the starting point for numerous ski tours that take you to the highest heights, embraced by the peace of the mountains. With steps in time with the rhythm of nature, head up Mt Capro/Botzer or Banker Joch col, to Mt Croda della Cintola/Gürtelwand or Mt Hofmannspitze, to Mt Clava/Kolbenspitz or Mt Cima dell’Alpe/Alpenspitze. Once you’ve reached the top and take in the view of the surrounding mountains, an indescribable sense of joy will make its home in your heart.

Winter adventures

When millions of snowflakes fall from the sky, Alta Val Passiria/Hinteres Passeiertal is blanketed in a deep, soothing peace. Winter bliss hangs in the air. Cocooned in a thick winter coat and with warm, sturdy shoes on your feet, you plod off. With your face to the sun, you move deeper into a winter wonderland that couldn’t be more beautiful. All around Moos im Passeiertal, you’ll find numerous wildly romantic winter hikes, for example in unspoilt Valle di Lazins/Lazinsertal, to Egger Grub Alm hut, or on the sun trail. Cross-country skiing offers a welcome contrast to the hectic pace of everyday life. Glide unhurriedly over the perfectly groomed trails in this deeply snow-blanketed landscape. Fun for the whole family awaits you while tobogganing, in the Stuls ski and fun park, or while ice-skating. A special winter highlight: climbing on the dizzyingly high ice towers in Rabenstein.

Museums in Moos im Passeiertal.

Worth seeing.

Val Passiria/Passeiertal is rich in stories and history. And that’s no surprise, as it has always been a link between north and south. Proud of their roots, the locals still uphold old customs and traditions and keep their fascinating history alive, which you can experience in various museums. In Moos im Passeiertal, you’ll find the Bunker Mooseum, which is located in the shell of a bunker from the 1940s. Here, you can learn all about the prehistoric times, settlement history, and geology of Alta Val Passiria/Hinterpasseier. In the neighbouring enclosure, you can admire the King of the Alps, the ibex. If you’d like to learn more about hydropower and the generation of electricity, we recommend a visit to Stiëber Mooseum. The South Tyrol Museum of Mining at Monteneve/Schneeberg, where you can enjoy exciting adventures below and above ground, is also worth visiting. Monteneve/Schneeberg mine, which in its heyday in the 15th century employed up to 1,000 miners, is one of the highest and once most important mines in Europe. The pioneers of the Passo Rombo/Timmelsjoch road, on the other hand, are celebrated at the pass museum on Passo Rombo/Timmelsjoch, which stands in both Italian South Tyrol and Austrian Tyrol. The moulin or glacial mill near Platt, which was carved by glacier water, is a reminder of the power of nature.
