820 meters of altitude / 4 h walking time
The Terner Jöchl is also known under the name Amjoch. It is located in the Pfunderer Mountains, which in turn are part of the Zillertal Alps.
The area is relatively safe from avalanches and is therefore often chosen as a destination for snowshoe hikes.
The starting point here is also a parking lot. In this case, it is the "Pertinger Alm parking lot" above the Nunewieser Inn in Terenten in the Puster Valley. Next to the toboggan run, the ascent begins over an open meadow and along the edge of the forest. Then you pass the toboggan run twice - the first time at a crossroads that is hard to miss, and the second time at the so-called Devil's Stone (an information board on site explains how it got this name). Then keep to the north and you will reach the wide meadow areas of the serviced Pertinger Alm (1861 meters altitude), where hearty home cooking provides new energy.
Refreshed, the path leads you to the left past the Alm, the forest road a bit northwards and at the first clearing to the right uphill. After a short change of direction of the path to the east and a return that leads back into the northern course, the next stage of the hike is reached - the unserviced Upper Pertinger Alm at over 2,000 meters above sea level. Continue northwards over not too steep slopes to the summit plateau of the Terner Jöchl (2,405 meters altitude) where an impressive view of the Pfunderer Mountains comes into your field of vision. Next to the summit cross you will also find a small stone pyramid a little further on, which contains an important treasure - the summit book.
For the way back you take the already walked path. If the snow conditions on the lower section make progress increasingly difficult, you can also play it safe and walk from the Pertinger Alm along the toboggan run to the starting point of the tour.
For the approximately 820 meters of altitude, 4 hours of walking time is an appropriate duration. The south-facing ascent of this easy hike provides you with the sun as a companion.
