Birgitzer Alm, Mountain pasture in Tyrol, Austria.
Birgitzer Alm is a mountain pasture at about 1,800 meters elevation with views toward the Ötztal Valley and the surrounding peaks of the Kalkkögel range in the Stubai Alps. The hut sits along hiking routes and serves as a starting point for winter sledding activities.
Archaeological finds show the area was inhabited in ancient times, with traces of Raeti settlements on the nearby Hohe Birga hill. These early human presences show that high alpine zones have been used for thousands of years.
The hut is a place where visitors can taste traditional Tyrolean food and observe how alpine farming shapes the rhythm of the year. Walking around, you notice how the landscape reflects this seasonal way of working and living.
In winter, visitors can use the sledding run, which is reached via a walking trail; the best season for pleasant hiking is summer through early fall. The terrain is accessible on well-maintained paths and the hut provides meals.
The area is part of a network of cross-country ski trails, including one route that extends to the nearby village of Axams. This connection makes the place a junction point for winter athletes who want to link different routes.
