Varied circular hike from Antholz Obertal via the Urigsteig to Grüblalm hut with alpine trails and less frequented paths.

The circular hike via the Urigsteig to Grüblalm hut is a true hidden gem in the upper Antholz Valley. The route leads through quiet, less frequented natural surroundings and offers a varied hiking experience with shaded forest sections, alpine trails and scenic viewpoints.

Starting from Antholz Obertal, the path first follows the valley floor at a gentle pace before the Urigsteig begins. This narrow mountain trail climbs more steeply and is partly exposed, but secured with steel cables.

At the top, you reach the quietly located Grüblalm hut (not serviced). The descent follows an old military road with well-laid switchbacks back down into the valley.

The tour can also be done in the opposite direction and offers several extension options. Due to its solitude and scenic beauty, it is especially recommended for experienced hikers.
