The Panoramic ViewThe entire Alpine chain opens out in front of your eyes in a 360° panoramic view sweeping from the Ötztal, Stubai and Zillertal Alps all the way to the Marmolata, Queen of the Dolomites, over the Schlern massif, the Rosengarten and the Latemar, down to the Bozen valley basin. Beyond the massive Mendel ridge, you can also see the Brenta group and the first part of the Ortles group.
The Hiking RoutesFrom the valley station in Pemmern, the cable car will take you up to the Schwarzseespitze at 2,070 m above sea level, where you can set out on the 45-minute panoramic loop-route or head up the 2,260 m Rittner Horn. Countless walking trails lead out from here – some to the Reinswald in the Sarn Valley, to the Latzfons Cross or the Königsangerspitze. If you’ve got enough energy left, you can return to the hotel in Lichtenstern on foot via Gißmann and the Oberinner Wiesen meadows.more
