Jägerrast Inn, Vorderkaser Alm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

In the small alpine village of Vorderkaser, it seems to you, as if time had simply stopped over 100 years ago. The few dark wooden houses stand here close together …

Upper Pfossental / Valle di Fosse Alta

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Above the Eishof, the Pfossental becomes increasingly barren and the mountains visibly more dramatic. First you hike here on a wide hiking trail, but the serpentine-rich climb to Eisjöchl takes place on a narrow, rocky path.

Ascent to Rifugio Stettiner / Stettiner Hütte

Highlight • Trail

The newly prepared path from Eisjöchl to Pfossental (or vice versa) is winding.

always nice in Pfossenthal. Insider tip: the farmer's omlette in the Rableidalm (3rd Alm) is super delicious!

We start 🚀at the Nassreidhof and continue to the Jägerrast (Vorderkasser). From there, we follow a gravel path to the Eishof🧊. Here, we can enjoy a culinary refreshment 😋before the ascent to the Stettiner Hütte. The ascent 🔝to the Stettiner Hütte follows an easily accessible route, originally built for military purposes as a supply route. Via the Eisjöchl, we then …

August 30, 2023,Wanderung Meraner Höhenweg 4. Tag vom Jägerhof zur Stettinerhütte

Nice tour to the Stettiner Hut. Because a mudslide had occurred, we had to move our starting point and drove from the Untervernatschhof to the Jägerhof. From there the Meraner Höhenweg was accessible again and we walked past the Eishof over the Eisjöchle to the Stettiner Hütte. Nice path looks good, almost too well developed.

July 13, 2022,🥾Tag 4 Meraner Höhenweg - von Nassreidhof durchs Pfossental aufs Eisjöchl und auf die Stettiner Hütte🎒

On the 4th day of the Meraner Höhenweg, the so-called royal stage was on our schedule.🥾🎒 The goal was the Eisjöchl with the newly built Stettiner Hütte and thus the highest point of the tour.

We actually wanted to stay overnight in the Pfossental, but unfortunately everything was fully booked.🫣

Even though the tour was relatively long and had almost 1200 meters of elevation gain, it was a very enjoyable hike: good paths and a steady climb. The scenery is stunning! 🤩

July 21, 2024,Vinschgau, auf dem Almweg zum Eishof u ein Stück weiter 🥾

The alpine path runs through the Pfossental, a side valley of the Schnalstal.
We started at the Jägerrast and went up to the Eishof via the Mitterkaser. There was a lot going on at the three farms. So we went straight on and after the last tree we had a really nice, quiet rest at a waterfall😍 and watched the …
