St. Anton am Arlberg is both a boundless adventure playground and a very relaxing oasis of tranquility. No matter whether you are a pleasure hiker, an experienced mountaineer or an expert climber - everyone will find their favourite place in nature! From gentle routes to steep summit climbs to high alpine via ferratas: The extensive mountain scenery of the Kapall, Galzig, Valluga and Rendl offers an incredible variety of options. The region boasts a network of 300 kilometres of charming hiking trails and has been awarded the Tirolean Seal of Quality.

In the Arlberg region, summit victories lie within everyone's reach, regardless of their fitness level. Intrepid adventurers who want to test their head for heights can go rock climbing or try via ferrata. Those who are looking for more comfort can journey up the mountains in the Arlberg cable cars. All guests of the Hotel zur Pfeffermühle will also receive the free St. Anton Summer Card upon arrival. Among other attractions, the card includes one day free unlimited use of all lifts and cable cars in St. Anton operating in summer. 

Besides being your hosts in St. Anton am Arlberg, we are also mountain enthusiasts and experts. We are happy to share our insider knowledge for exploring the region like a local. For example, a sunrise hike is an absolute highlight that lets you experience the mystical atmosphere of the Tirolean mountains at daybreak. The requisite headlamps can be borrowed from our reception.

Both the public bus stop and the cable car are in the immediate vicinity of our hotel in St. Anton and yet there are plenty of hikes starting right on the doorstep of the Hotel zur Pfeffermühle. A recommended moderate hike, for example, leads to the Putzenalm, where fresh air enthusiasts have a wonderful view of the Stanzertal valley. Gourmets should opt for the moderately difficult hike to the Rendlalm. 

Visitors should not miss out on Kaspressknödel (flat bread dumplings filled with cheese), Kaiserschmarrn (a sweet, fluffy shredded pancake served with plum or apple compote) or a Brettljause (snack with dry-cured and smoked specialties like speck and sausages, mountain cheese and bread). Families can experience a world of adventure on Senn’s Wonder Walking Way where a barefoot trail, a water trail, a nature playground, a tree house and a magical forest await small and large explorers.
