Are you planning a hiking holiday in Serfaus? Then make sure you put these five points on your to-do list. You will not regret it.
Hiking to higher, quieter mountain areas increases your chance of hearing marmot whistles. With luck, you might spot these diurnal animals, especially in the mornings or evenings to avoid midday heat. Look out for them on the marmot trail, near Furglersee lake, or at Fisser Joch.
At Högsee lake, cool off at 1,829m with swimming permitted. Dive in or pedal around on a boat. Young adventurers can play around the lake, with the Hög Adventure Park offering water mazes, a cow trampoline, and a wooden ball track. For a more natural experience, hike to Urgsee lake. Although swimming isn't allowed, dipping your feet in the ice-cold water guarantees 100% refreshment.
Your reminder of a perfect hiking holiday. Grab a hiking pass (for a small fee) and start the medal hunt. Throughout the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis region, a wide variety of hiking destinations are marked for you to conquer. At each station, there is a sign and a punch. Punch your hiking pass and collect points. The more diligent you are, the better you score. Depending on your score, you will receive a bronze, silver or gold hiking medal. Tip: There is already a Murmli & Berta hiking pin from 20 points for the smallest hiking foxes.
"Marend" is Tyrolean for a snack. In the past, hard-working farmers used to recharge their batteries with a Marend in the afternoon. The snack has remained to this day and is cultivated as a tradition by many families. Because a Marend is not a quick snack in between meals, it is an expression of sociability. People take their time and sit down together in a cosy atmosphere. Over time, however, the menu has become somewhat more extensive and heartier. The "Marend" is "classically served on a large wooden board, from which everyone takes what they like: bacon, sausage, cheese, minced meat, lard, roast pork, smoked fish, butter, spread, fruit, pickled vegetables, mustard and freshly grated horseradish. There is also plenty of farmhouse bread. You can try the Tyrolean Marend after a strenuous hike at many huts in the region. We wish you a good appetite!
In the Alpine region, there is an old tradition for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It is as simple as it is effective. If you want to switch off and let your thoughts run free, sit down on one of the region's numerous "Holzbankla" (wooden benches) and do nothing for 20 to 30 minutes. Just breathe deeply and enjoy the warmth of the sun on your skin. Observe nature — nothing else. You'll see, you haven't been this relaxed in a long time.
We are in the autumn break and the anticipation of winter is great.
Dear guests, we look forward to welcoming you again from 6 December 2024. We will be happy to answer any further enquiries and requests you may have by phone or email at any time.
Best wishes from Serfaus
Your Purtscher family and the alpina&more team
