The Gries Mining Trail & Ski Touring Heaven in the Sattelberg Region
In summer
A small, easily explored community with a great central location – whether as a relaxing stopover for those travelling farther south, or as an ideal home base for excursions by bike and on foot into the nearby border region. The high Nösslach plateau, with the St. Jacob pilgrims' chapel, provides a breathtaking view of the north-south landscape – a popular and famous motif for photographers.
In winter
Conquer a mountain with your own strength, leaving the village of Gries below in the valley: the sport of ski mountaineering is catching on, and Gries' backyard mountain, the "Sattelberg", is perfect for Alpine treks. Whether just to the lodge for a refreshment or all the way to the peak, whether by day or by moonlight, for deep powder adventure or a descent on the prepared slope – conditions are perfect for ski touring! And for many other great ski treks, Gries am Brenner is located right at the opening of the Obernberg Valley – a well-kept secret among nature lovers and mountain sports enthusiasts.
