A hike that will make every mountain lover's heart beat faster! In the heart of the Texel Group you get a demanding climb, lots of views over Merano and the surroundings, a clear mountain lake and a great place to eat at the highest point of the tour! The bravest take a dip in the Obisell lake before treating themselves to dumplings and Kaiserschmarren at the hut.
The best place to start the hike to the Obisell Alm is the Oberöbersthof farm, which can be reached by car and/or public transport. Depending on the route you climb between 800 and 1,000 metres, and they are tough ones, but if you choose the route over the Pfitschkopf on the Hahnenkamm you are rewarded with a perfect view over the Merano basin.
Impressions
The variant over the Hahnenkamm leads from there in about 45 minutes slightly uphill to the Obisell Hut, which lies on the lake of the same name. The very brave plunge on hot days to cool off in the crystal clear but cold water. The hut, which is open in summer, offers simple, hearty and tasty dishes, typical alpine fare, which is delivered by the in-house material cable car.
As a descent option, you can choose the more direct path, which leads past the lower, converted Obisell Hut. This leads down through the steep Saltusio valley, a last small counter ascent leads back to the Oberöberst farms at the end.
