The Gitschberg Alpine Hut Circuit takes you to several alpine huts in the region, from traditional huts to welcoming refreshment stops. Along the route, you can enjoy views of the Puster Valley and the Pfunderer Mountains. The viewpoints at the Moserhütte and the Gampen rest area with its wooden sculptures are particularly recommended.
