Anyone who spends their vacation at CHALET LES OVIS in South Tyrol will quickly realize that hiking is simply part of the experience here. In spring, countless blossoms open the way to the outdoors, and delicate fragrances accompany every tour. Summer surprises with clear mountain lakes that invite you to cool off on warm days. In autumn, the landscape glows in vibrant colors, and the view extends far beyond the peaks. And when winter arrives, the silence of the snow-covered nature can be experienced particularly intensely with snowshoes. Whether it’s a leisurely hut trail, a panoramic summit tour, a hike in the Texelgruppe Nature Park, or a challenging via ferrata – everyone will find their own personal path between the Stubai and Ötztal Alps.
