& UNTOUCHED NATURE
One of our weekly highlights takes place up on high at 1,150 metres above sea level, on an idyllic pasture on the Marlinger Berg Mountain. We’re talking of our very own Alpine pasture hut - the Waldner Alm, which you can visit up close on a relaxed hike with Wally every Wednesday.
At one time a “refuge” for our grandfather Franz Waldner III and friends and acquaintances of the family, this beautiful alpine hut is today a small natural paradise, much loved by visitors of all ages. For over a century, the erstwhile simple wooden house, owned by the Waldner family since 1906, has been extended and carefully renovated into the charming alpine hut of today.
A small chapel in honour of St. Hubert, patron saint of hunting and hunters, was built in the 1980s.

Come and join us on our very special alpine experience when we hike up to our Waldner Alm. The first stretch of the journey is on the Vigiljoch train, which takes us high up the mountain. Then we head out on a relaxing hike, suitable for both young and old, to our old mountain hut. Breathtaking panoramas, spectacular views over the Etsch Valley and a traditional South Tyrolean “Marende” of speck, cheese and Vinschger Paarl bread are just what you need to reward you for your efforts!
You’re in very good company on a visit to our pasture: Well-known personalities, including Diego Maradona, have stayed at our Waldner Alm.
