Boden is considered a central starting point for numerous hikes and mountain tours. Options range from the “Boden - Pfafflar Hamlet Loop” family hike to the challenging mountain tour to Muttekopf and the ski tour to the Western Dremelscharte. There are also views of the Lechtal Alps, the renovated village church of St. Joseph, and the “Am Roßschlag” place of power. If you are considering staying in Boden, you can choose your accommodation based on the type of outing you have in mind: a circular hike, mountain tour, ski tour, or a break with mountain views.
Hiking and Mountain Tours in Boden
The “Boden - Pfafflar Hamlet Loop” starts and ends in Boden. As a family hike, it differs in type from a mountain tour with a challenging character. Along the way, the loop passes traditional wooden houses in Brandegg and Unterhaus. This combines a return to the starting point with a cultural glimpse along the route. Those interested in traditional timber construction will find a specific point of interest here.
The mountain tour to Muttekopf starts in Boden at 1,356 m and leads through the Fundaistal, past the Fundaisplatten and through the Küblerwände to Muttekopf (2,774 m). It is challenging. This clearly sets it apart from the family hike: the focus here is on a challenging mountain tour and its named destination.
The hike from Boden to Hanauer HĂĽtte follows the Angerletal. The ski tour to the Western Dremelscharte also starts in Boden and passes Hanauer HĂĽtte; the pass is its destination. Thus, the hut is the destination on the hike, but a point passed along the way on the ski tour. Conditions for the ski tour depend on the season. When choosing, therefore, consider the type of activity and its destination, not just the shared connection to Hanauer HĂĽtte.
Views and a Break with Mountain Scenery
Bschlabs, Boden, and Pfafflar offer magnificent views of the Lechtal Alps. A distinctive spot in Boden is the “Am Roßschlag” place of power: with views of the mountains, it offers a place to relax. So, alongside hiking and ski tours, a break with a view is another possible focus.
Village Church and Organ
The renovated village church of St. Joseph in Boden houses the oldest organ in the surrounding area. The Baroque organ was probably built in the mid-18th century. Before planning a visit to the church, check the current opening hours and whether it is possible to view the organ.
Seasonal Road Planning
Seasonal conditions can also affect road planning. The road over the Hahntennjoch is generally closed for the winter months because of avalanche danger, from late autumn until around May or June. If you are planning to drive over the Hahntennjoch, check the current road status in advance.
