A dip in the Obstansersee is only for the very hardy - the water temperature barely rises above 10°C and the lake is covered in ice for around 8 months of the year.
Challenging mountain tour through the Winklertal valley to the Obstansersee hut (2,304 m) and on to the 2,678 m high Pfannspitze. The trail leads through a picturesque high valley, past the Obstanser See lake, and ends with a steep climb to the summit. A spectacular panoramic view of the Carnic Alps opens up from the top. Ideal for experienced hikers looking for a mixture of nature enjoyment and sporting challenge.
The sports and leisure centre is the starting point. Hike in a southerly direction from there via route 466 to Winklertal and to the steep walled head of the valley. Hairpin bends proceed up to Obstanser See and to Obstansersee Hütte. After a rest at Obstansersee Hütte bear right, heading past the lake, on a steep climb up to the Pfannspitze.
