The Schlegeis-Reservoir is the starting point for many walks,
mountain- and glacier tours. The Friesenberghaus at 2.498 m (ca. 2 h), the
Pfitscherjoch-Haus at 2.237 m (ca. 2 h), the Olperer-Hütte auf 2.389 m (ca.
1,5 h) and the Furtschagl-Haus at 2.295 m (ca. 2,5 h) are only a few
examples. For the hikers with enough stamina the Panoramaroad Schlegeis (ca.
6 h) is a fine possibility to walk from hut to hut.
The walk along the border of the reservoir to the "Furtschagel-Haus" at
2.295 m offers impressive views over the Schlegeis-Glacier

Pfitscher Jochhaus 2.277 m. Distance from the Reservoir
Schlegeis approx. 2 ½ hours
Cross the Italian border and walk to the South-Tyrolean Pfitschertal. A real
walk to enjoy is the climb through the scenic and charming high valley
"Zamser Grund" to the "Pfitscher-Joch-Haus" at 2.277 m altitude in
South-Tyrol. The marked roads have various levels of difficulty and
distance, so every hiker will find something suitable for his or hers
performance level.
This walk goes to the Austrian-Italian border. Along the Schlegeis
reservoir, at the bridge you turn to the right along the Kiosk Zamsgatterl.
The road is marked with nr. 524 and starts ascending slightly into the
Pfitschergründl. After an hour you will reach the Eckalm, 2.089m, and
shorltly after you will be at the end of the valley. Because of the steep
part that follows this climb has been called "Jochschinder" (something like
mountain strugglers...) for ages. But after 15 minutes you are at the
state border with Italy and you can walk on to the now nearby
Pfitscher-Joch-Haus. Here you have a breathtaking view over the glaciers.
