Churches and a historic bridge, a museum with a mill and mushroom house, as well as trails for hiking and cycling, reveal the different sides of Tösens. Regional products are another topic to consider when planning your stay. Whichever of these interests you most can be a helpful starting point for choosing your accommodation and planning your trip.
Churches with distinctive features
The parish church of St. Lawrence is in the Steinach district, on the right bank of the Inn along the old valley road. It was consecrated in 1713 and features remarkable vault paintings. Its location, year of consecration and painted decoration make the church a specific place to visit for anyone interested in sacred architecture and its artistic details.
The Chapel of St. George above Tösens offers a different impression. It stands on a grassy slope above the village and is entirely painted inside. The vault paintings are particularly noteworthy in the parish church, while the chapel is notable for its fully painted interior. The two places therefore differ not only in location but also in the interior details described.
The Roman bridge and its former use
Opposite Tösens, on a rocky slope in the valley, stands the Roman bridge, an old stone arch bridge. A narrow road once led across it to Serfaus. Its construction and former function offer two perspectives on the structure: they draw attention both to its stone arch and to its historic role as a crossing on the route towards Serfaus.
Mill, mushroom house and regional products
At the Serfauser Lauser Museum, the mill has two waterwheels. The mushroom house displays local edible and poisonous mushrooms. It brings together a craft-related object and an exploration of different groups of mushrooms. If you enjoy combining cultural and nature-related topics on an outing, you will find two clearly distinct points of interest here: the mill and the mushrooms on display.
Gerti's Ladele offers another glimpse of local life. Its selection includes schnapps, liqueurs, jams, herbal tea and grain products; the products are regional and organic. The range therefore extends from drinks and spreads to tea and grain products. Alongside the cultural sites, it offers another reason to plan your stay around not only buildings and trails but also regional produce.
Cycling, hiking and seasonal rafting
Tösens is on the Via Claudia Augusta long-distance cycle route. Various hiking routes are described: one hike goes from Luststeig via Lustwiese. Another trail runs between the municipal areas of Pfunds and Tösens, near the high valley of Tschey, and continues into the Platzer and Bergle valleys. One description names Luststeig and Lustwiese, while the other outlines the route between two municipal areas and the landscapes along the way. These give you different points of reference when deciding what matters most to you on a hike.
A rafting trip also passes through the Tösens Gorge. It is seasonal, and availability may vary. Compared with the hikes described and the long-distance cycle route, rafting is therefore the activity with an explicitly seasonal timeframe. If it matters to your trip, check availability for your planned dates.
To help with your planning, first decide what you would like to focus on: are you most interested in the churches, chapel and Roman bridge, would you like to make time for the museum and regional products, or are hiking, cycling and seasonal rafting your priority? This lets you tailor your search for hotels in Tösens to what you most want to discover during your stay, without turning the different topics into a fixed itinerary.
