Hiking on the Schwemmalm

The Erlebnishotel Waltershof in St. Nikolaus in South Tyrol's Ulten Valley is the ideal starting point for a varied alpine hike on the Schwemmalm. Just a few minutes away, at the Schwemmalmbahn mountain station, there are numerous hiking trails that are suitable for both families and experienced hikers.

The flooded alpine pasture

The routes lead high above the valley to rustic cabins nestled between dense forests and lush green alpine meadows, where bright pink alpine roses bloom in summer. From the Äußere Schwemmalm hut, a circular trail suitable for strollers and wheelchairs leads to the Innere Schwemmalm hut, ideal for relaxed alpine hikes with the whole family.

Those looking for a challenge can reach the peaks of Mutegg and Hasenohr from the clear Arzkarsee lake. All hiking trails on the Schwemmalm are well marked and offer impressive panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

 

After an active alpine hike on the Schwemmalm, the wellness facilities at the Waltershof adventure resort offer the perfect relaxation – after all, this hotel is one of the wellness specialists among hiking hotels. In the spacious sauna area, while swimming in the heated indoor pool or during a massage, you can relax your muscles and clear your head.

Hiking for all levels

Families and leisure hikers in particular benefit from the combination of outdoor exercise and comfort. While children playfully explore the circular trails between Äußere and Innere Schwemmalm, adults can enjoy the panoramic views.

Even experienced mountaineers will find ideal conditions here for climbing peaks and really pushing themselves – whether on one of the guided hikes offered several times a week or on their own. The hiking hotel concierge at the hiking-certified Waltershof provides professional advice directly at the hotel. With its direct location on the extensive network of hiking trails, the Waltershof makes every alpine hike a balanced experience of exercise, enjoyment of nature, and relaxation. This combines alpine adventure and wellness for an all-round successful hiking vacation in South Tyrol.
