Boden: Hiking, Mountain Tours and Village Church

The ski tour to the Westliche Dremelscharte starts in Boden; conditions vary by season. Boden is also considered a central starting point for numerous hikes and mountain tours. When planning, it helps to distinguish between the different types of tours and destinations: alongside the ski tour, there is a challenging summit tour, a family hike and a hike along the Angerletal valley.

Hiking and Mountain Tours

The mountain tour to Muttekopf starts in Boden at 1,356 m and leads to the 2,774 m summit. The route passes through the Fundaistal, past the Fundaisplatten and through the Küblerwände. The tour is challenging. This rating is important for your planning: it distinguishes the mountain tour from a loop that starts and ends in Boden. The summit destination and the named sections of the route also give the tour its own character.

The “Boden - Weilerrunde Pfafflar” is a family hike that starts and ends in Boden. Along the way, it passes traditional wooden houses in Brandegg and Unterhaus. The loop therefore combines a clear starting and finishing point with architectural interest along the route. The wooden houses add a cultural touch to the hike, while its classification as a family hike describes the nature of the tour.

Another hike leads from Boden to the Hanauer Hütte and follows the Angerletal valley. The hut is also a point of reference on the ski tour to the Westliche Dremelscharte, which passes by it. The Hanauer Hütte plays different roles in the two tours: it is the destination of the hike and a point along the ski tour. This comparison makes the differences between the activities clear, despite their shared place name.

Mountain Views and Local History

Bschlabs, Boden and Pfafflar offer wonderful views of the Lechtal Alps. In Boden, the “Am Roßschlag” place of power offers a spot to relax with mountain views. Thus, alongside the tour destinations, the scenery and a specific place to rest are also highlights. For travel planning, these are two distinct ways to enjoy nature: the panorama of the Alps and the named place of power in Boden.

Boden’s culture also includes the renovated “Hl. Josef” village church. It houses the oldest organ in the surrounding area; the Baroque organ was probably built in the mid-18th century. The organ is both a regional rarity and an object with an approximate historical date. Those interested in churches and organs will find a distinct cultural attraction here, alongside the hikes and mountain tours.

Travel Information

The road over the Hahntennjoch is also an important part of travel planning. Due to the risk of avalanches, it is generally closed in winter, from late autumn until around May or June. If you are planning to drive along this road, check its current status before your trip.
