The path is not too steep and offers great views. The short break at the Lavitzalm was particularly nice. The friendly dairymaid served delicious homemade buttermilk.

After 22 years, we returned to the Pfitscher Joch. This time as a day trip from the Schlegeis reservoir. A beautiful trail through the Zamser Grund with beautiful views of the Lower and Upper Schrammach Waterfalls. Due to the weather, we skipped the planned return route via the high trail and the Olperer Hut (and the Instagram spot with the …

Many of you are probably familiar with this tour, but I recommend that everyone else do it as well. Fantastic panoramas alternate. The path is reshaped and gravelled from the Schlegeis reservoir. Only recommended to a limited extent for bikes, due to the passages to be pushed and carried.
The highlight at the Pfitscherjoch are the hut maccaroni 🍽️
