Autumn sun in the mountains

Love of a special kind!

Autumn – the brightest time of year. A natural spectacle that delights the eye and stirs the heart. A time for recharging. Up here in the mountains, this wonderful season paints the backdrop for sensational experiences.

Even the early morning is an energising affair. As the mist still hangs with mystical flair over the valley below, the warm rays of sunshine herald an unforgettable day of hiking. The view over the mountain tops is now at its clearest, so much so that they seem close enough to touch. Add to that the tingling air and the bright blue sky, and the message is clear: THE MOUNTAIN IS CALLING!

So, here’s a recommendation for your autumnal tours in the Eisacktal valley: the Alpine pastures around Feldthurn. The starting point for this leisurely, panoramic walk is by the Kühhof car park (1,587 m) above the locality of Latzfons. As you wind your way through colourful larch and stone pine woodland, fantastic vistas of the Dolomites will accompany you along your path.

Back from your mountain outing, your nature experience can continue at Hotel Gitschberg. Soak up the autumn sun from the panoramic pool. Enjoy the soothing embrace of the warm mountain spring water. Luxuriate in the warmth of the crackling fire at the centre of our scented panoramic garden, and in the view of the last rays of the day bathing the Dolomites in their red glow.
