St. Jakob

Highlight • Settlement

Small but beautiful: St. Jakob in the Zillertal is a nice starting point for mountain bike tours and is also ideal, thanks to some hotels and inns, as a stage stop for an Alpine crossing. Many hotels are well geared for bikers, so you will not miss anything.

Pfitscherjoch Border Crossing

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A real highlight of the hike is crossing the border into Italy. After a hike of almost two hours you can cross the boundary stone to South Tyrol in the middle of a beautiful mountain scenery. From there it is a good 5 minutes to the Pfitscherjochhaus, where you can enjoy traditional Italian spaghetti. Ottimo!

Pfitscherjochhaus / Passo di Vizze Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

In the Zillertal Alps at an altitude of 2,246 meters lies the Pfitscher Joch, an Alpine crossing that connects the rear Zillertal valley with the South Tyrolean Pfitscher valley. The border between Austria and Italy runs directly on the Joch. On the Italian side is the Pfitscher-Joch-Haus, a summer refuge with overnight accommodation and special offer for bikers.
