Discover Boden: Hiking, Mountain Tours and Pfafflar

Boden is a mountain village that is best explored through its hikes and mountain tours. Numerous hikes and mountain tours start here and lead through the Angerle Valley, to traditional hamlets or into alpine landscapes. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home can therefore consider Boden as a starting point for an active stay in the Lech Valley. Depending on your travel plans, you can choose from shorter hiking experiences, a family hike, longer circular tours or winter activities.

Hiking with Different Tour Profiles

One specific hike leads from Boden to Angerleboden. It starts at the Bergheimat Inn, crosses the bridge over the Fundaisbach and follows the Angerlebach upstream to Angerleboden. The route thus combines a start in the mountain village with a trail along the stream and is suitable for anyone who wants to plan their day around a clearly defined destination.

The Boden–Pfafflar Hamlet Circuit is designated as a family hike. Both the starting point and the destination are in Boden. Another hike leads from Boden to Hanauer Hütte through the Angerle Valley, reaching the hut at an altitude of 1,922 metres after approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. For a more extensive mountain tour, the Boden–Fundaistal–Hanauer Hütte–Boden circular hike is a good choice. It covers a distance of 15.06 kilometres and includes 1,118 metres of ascent. The recommended climb leads through the secluded Fundaistal Valley and past the Küblerwände and Fundaisplatten rock formations. This information helps you take the desired tour length and the character of your hiking day into account when choosing your accommodation.

Hamlets, Wooden Houses and the Route to Pfafflar

The Boden–Pfafflar Hamlet Circuit adds a special regional perspective to your travel planning. The route passes through various hamlets between Boden and Pfafflar. Old, traditional wooden houses lie along the route in Brandegg and Unterhaus; Pfafflar is eventually reached via Ebele. For families or several generations, this combination of exercise and local architectural heritage can make for an appealing day out without committing to a pure mountain tour.

Winter Routes around Boden

Boden also offers specific destinations for active days in winter. The ski tour to the Western Dremelscharte starts in Boden and passes by Hanauer Hütte. It involves around 1,000 metres of ascent; in the upper section, the terrain runs northwards. Those who prefer to travel by sled will find the challenging Boden–Hahntennjoch toboggan run near the mountain village. It extends for more than two kilometres from the mountain village of Pfafflar to Boden.

Summer Planning and Suitable Accommodation

A hiking bus between Imst and Elmen is also relevant during the summer months. When looking for accommodation in Boden, you can therefore first consider which experiences should define your stay: a family hike starting and ending in Boden, the route to Pfafflar, Hanauer Hütte or a longer circular hike through the Fundaistal Valley. A holiday apartment in Boden suits travel plans that place the village at the centre as the starting point for several tours. For further regional orientation, you can also look at Holzgau, Wängle, Höfen, Ehrwald, Plansee, Biberwier, Lermoos and Ehenbichl.
