Antholz Mittertal lies at an altitude of 1,250 m and is surrounded by the impressive mountain backdrop of the Rieserferner Group. The landscape combines peaceful trails, alpine destinations, winter activities and special insights into the history of the village. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Antholz Mittertal, you will find a destination-typical mix here for varied days of vacation.

Hiking between forests, water and alpine pastures

The hike to the Mittertaler Ochsenalm starts at the Antholz Mittertal sports zone and leads to the unstaffed Mittertaler Ochsenalm at 2,083 m. The Klammbach Waterfall can also be discovered on a trail starting from Antholz Mittertal: The hike begins at the festival grounds and leads uphill along Trail No. 12 through a shady forest. The waterfall is located above the village and originates directly in the glacier of the Rieserferner Group. From a panoramic platform, the Klammbach Waterfall can be viewed up close.

At the Eggerhöfe farms, the hike to the Klammbach Waterfall also offers an optional ascent of around 15 minutes to the Egger Waterfall. For a different route idea, there is the Antholz Mittertal panoramic circular trail: As a circular hiking trail, it combines peaceful forest and meadow paths with views of the village and the surrounding mountains, and continues to the Eggerhöfe farms, which are suitable for a leisurely stop for refreshments.

Panoramic trails and historic landmarks

The Müllerkofl circular trail leads around the wooded ridge above Antholz Mittertal. Along the way, you walk on quiet forest paths with beautiful views of the valley, passing the historic Burgegga Mill and traditional farms. Kumpflalm offers views across the Antholz Valley and is a starting point for further hikes and panoramic trails in the upper valley. This makes it easy to combine short walks, circular trails and longer excursions in your plans without confusing the different characters of the destinations.

Winter days with cross-country skiing and snow experiences

In winter, the Valle Anterselva cross-country ski trail runs along the village on natural snow. It invites you to take a tour both towards the entrance of the valley and towards the biathlon stadium. The winter hike from Antholz Mittertal to Lake Antholz leads through the snow-covered valley landscape along a mostly prepared winter hiking trail to Lake Antholz.

Antholz Mittertal is home to the Riepen ski slope. In addition to the ski slope, there is a SnowPark and a Kids Park. Antholz Mittertal is also an ideal starting point for walks, hikes to alpine pastures, mountain tours and bike rides along the cycle path to the entrance of the Antholz Valley. When planning your holiday apartment stay, you can therefore consider whether your days of vacation should primarily be shaped by quiet circular trails, winter activities or longer tours.

History and nature experiences for different age groups

At the themed trail station “The Rieserferner Find” in Antholz Mittertal, it is reported that in summer 1992, the hut keeper Gottfried Leitgeb found 2,700-year-old clothing at the Gamsbichljoch in the Rieserferner Group at an altitude of 2,850 m above sea level, including two pairs of trousers and leather parts from a shoe. The Gruber-Stöckl was rebuilt in 1872 and decorated by the painter Rudiferia in 1884.

Tonis Woldwegile is a family-friendly nature experience trail in Antholz Mittertal with play and learning stations centered around the forest. The trail therefore complements the alpine hiking destinations with a nature-focused activity that combines discovery and exercise.
