Special features

Easy but eventful hike in the Samnaun group in Tyrol:

The Urgtal valley in the north-eastern foothills of the Samnaun group is one of the most beautiful high mountain valleys in the Tyrolean Oberland. Countless streams and lakes as well as a large number of animals and plants characterize this high mountain landscape. With the exception of traditional alpine farming and individual hiking trails, this gem with its countless unspoilt streams, small lakes, wetlands, spring moors, etc. and the surrounding imposing mountain formations is characterized by the fact that it has been kept free of cable cars, ski slopes, roads, power stations, etc. to this day.
