My favorite tour

Great views by e-bike from the Flathalm

Today we invite you on a rather leisurely e-bike tour. Our tour starts in Tobadill above Landeck. With a bit of luck, you can park right in front of the town hall.

From the well-signposted access road to Ruetzen, above the church opposite the municipal office, always follow the signs for "Flathalm" uphill to the east. Continue through a settlement towards Ruetzen, past beautiful mountain farms to a bridge.

On the right, you have a magnificent view of the lower-lying Trisanna valley basin with the famous railroad bridge. The view stretches far up into the Arlberg region and to the left into Paznaun.

Brunch in a class of its own
The less strenuous e-bike tour in the Samnaun group takes us further up through the shady mountain forest to the Flathalm, a simple but well-run mountain hut. The mountain farmers Emanuel and his cousin Marcell have a very special relationship with their brown cattle.

Every Monday at 11 a.m., after a pleasant bike tour from Tobadill, you are treated to a first-class brunch.

Marcell and Emanuel welcome you with homemade jams, honey from their own production, fresh goat's and cow's milk from the Flathalm, organic eggs from their own chickens, including a hot drink (coffee, tea or cocoa) and much more.
