Where meadows lead to still waters in the shadow of summits
Silent shores above Tarres.
This circular hike begins at the Tarscher Lift and climbs gently past the traditional Tarscher Alm. The path continues upward through flower-dotted alpine meadows, reaching the tranquil Tarscher See at 2400 m. Surrounded by peaks and silence, the lake invites reflection and rest. The return loop offers open views over Val Venosta. A peaceful but rewarding mid-length hike.

The route to Tarscher See takes you deep into alpine quiet. With steady elevation and little exposure, it’s a great choice for hikers seeking nature and solitude. Watch for grazing sheep, alpine salamanders near the lake, and golden larch in autumn. Bring a picnic and enjoy the tranquility of the lake’s northern shore.
