The holiday flats and rooms are located in the main village of St. Anton or in one of the many scattered settlements in the valley.
Pflerschtal valley at over 1,000 metres above sea level features around 650 inhabitants. The settlements at the ‘Steinhöfe’ farmsteads in Innerpflersch were first mentioned in records in the 13th century. Its original nature may still be felt today, and this unspoilt valley will suit anyone looking for a bit of peace and quiet down to the ground. A Farm Holiday does not just mean relaxation, but families and those seeking a bit of action will appreciate the adventures to be had here. ‘Silbertal’, or ‘silver valley’, as Pflerschtal valley is also called, has a lot to offer: it will suit hikers, skiers, ski tourers as well as young and older explorers.
So close to the mountains
The mighty Tribulaun in Pflersch stands watch over the peaceful valley. This is the highest point of the Tribulaun mountain crest and is known as one of the major climbing mountains in the Stubai Alps. While its steep rock faces are best left to experienced climbers, there are lots of hiking options in Pflerschtal valley.
There’s plenty to discover: the valley is also well known for its many different types of stone and rock formations. The ‘pale mountains’ south of the Brenner Pass used to fascinate the French nobleman and geologist Déodat de Dolomieu. He had his entire collection of limestone analysed and found out that it was all made up of one previously unknown mineral aus calcium magnesium carbonate. This type of stone was named after its discoverer and today a whole mountain region further south bears the name ‘Dolomite’. Yet this stone may also be found here.
On the other hand, the name ‘silver valley’ may be traced back to the mining that went on mainly at the end of the valley, and had an important role to play. Mountain mining there goes back to the 12th century, and a few tunnels may be seen today, as well as a historical stone with runic inscriptions.
Six mountain pastures, a church and a waterfall
The so-called ‘Hölle’ waterfall, crashing down about fifty metres to the ground, makes an ideal excursion in Pflerschtal valley. St. Antonius church in St. Anton is also worth seeing. Keen walkers should not miss out on the ’Dolomieu-Weg‘ path while on a Farm Holiday, which leads from Rosskopf near Sterzing to the end of Pflerschtal valley via six mountain pastures. A stop off at one of the mountain pasture huts will reward customers with a real culinary treat: ‘Graukäse’ cheese, a very low-fat cheese made from fermented milk, is a speciality of these parts.

The natural sledge run to Allriss Alm pasture is especially suitable for families. The one-hour walk leads down a leisurely path to the mountain pasture hut, which is a convenient place to stop off for a refreshing drink or spot to eat. The sledge run leads through the snowy winter landscape and can usually be used until into the spring thanks to its being in the shade.
A further sledge run in Ladurns ski area, which is also good for families, may only be reached by cable car. Sledges may be hired at the valley terminal. Sledgers are treated to a picturesque view across Pflerschtal valley and enjoy a great winter day out.
