Pfitsch – a dream

destination in South Tyrol

Your gaze runs over the magnificent mountain skyline. All you can hear is the Pfitscher stream babbling cheerfully, and soft birdsong filling the air. Knappenhof is located in a quiet, secluded spot near the South Tyrolean village of St. Jakob in Pfitsch. We’re surrounded by mountains, yet comfortably close to Sterzing – Italy’s northernmost town.

Back to the origins

In ancient times, this wasn’t a valley

It used to be a large lake, until a rock fall changed the landscape forever over a thousand years ago, forming the Pfitschtal valley as you can see it now – with the high peaks of the Zillertal Alps and Mt. Hochfeiler at their centre, rolling meadows, vast forests and crystal-clear mountain tarns. A natural paradise for mountain lovers of all ages, to be enjoyed in every season.
