https://www.innsbruck.info/fileadmin/userdaten/contwise/poi-121052507-2020_0521_1575011869.jpg
One of the panoramic eMTB tours in the Upper Inn Valley!
The Oberhofer Melkalm mountain hut offers incredible panoramic views, the like of which are seldom found at other huts. You can admire the alpine landscapes reaching all the way from the Wetterstein mountains, the Zugspitze and the Karwendel mountains to the Stubai Alps.
The route starts in the centre of Oberhofen and leads to the Hornbachkapelle chapel. From there, it weaves its way uphill around long bends, climbing at a moderate pace along a shady forest road through mixed woodland to the Melkalm mountain hut, where you can enjoy a well-deserved break. Your efforts are rewarded with 180° panoramic views of the summits Wonnig, Hochplattnig, Zugspitze, Hohe Munde, Leutascher Dreitorspitze, Arnspitze, Westliche Karwendelspitze and Grosser Lafatscher. Follow the same route back.
Highlights:
The Oberhofer Melkalm is an idyllic, rustic hut with excellent food. Stunning views of the Karwendel mountains, the Upper Inn Valley and all the way over to the Stubai Alps.

Forecast
Under the large system of low pressure over Central Europe we will continue to be influenced by humid air. Such weather conditions will hardly make us jump for joy of course: the weather will be changeable with temporary clear spells and periods of thick cloud.
Tendency
On Friday, on Saturday and on Sunday, clouds will decrease and give way to cloudless skies and perfect sunshine with temperatures keeping on rising.
