Mauchele Alpine Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Above the village of St. Leonhard in the Pitztal lies the quaint Mauchele Alm.

It is managed in summer from mid-June to late September. Due to the local weather conditions, the opening hours of the Alm can change and should therefore first be requested by phone.

Mauchelesteig Trail to Brechsee

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

From the Mauchelealm on this steep trail through a magical landscape up to Brechsee. First through a mixed forest (including pines), then over high pastures. Partly very exposed way, but then insured with wire ropes. However, the landscape above the lake is more than worth the way.

Kleiner Brechsee

Highlight • Lake

After a steep ascent from the Mauchele Alm, the last steps lead over larger boulders to the lake. The deep clear water in the midst of the mountain scenery definitely compensates for the effort and invites you to take a little rest.

Brechsee

Highlight • Lake

A really great mountain lake - depending on where you look at it, it has a different color. Crystal clear water and smooth as a mirror, the children and dogs didn't want to go any further. ;-)
