The hike from Antholz Niedertal to the peak Amperspitze (2,687 m) is a varied and scenic mountain tour in the inner Antholz Valley. The route leads through quiet forests and alpine pastures into high alpine terrain.

Starting in Antholz Niedertal, the trail passes farms and forest roads to Neuhütte, then continues via Dorfmüller Alm hut and Niedertaler Ochsenalm hut– both unstaffed alpine huts in a peaceful setting. As altitude increases, impressive views of the Rieserferner Group open up.

From Ampertörl, the alpine section begins, leading to the summit of Amperspitze, which offers fantastic panoramic views. The return follows the same route. The tour requires good fitness and sure-footedness but is not technically difficult.

From the Puster Valley road, turn off into the Antholz Valley and follow the road to Antholz Niedertal.

Take bus line 431 from the Olang-Antholz train station or from Lake Antholz to the stop “Antholz Niedertal”.
