Texelgruppe Nature Park

The Texelgruppe Nature Park extends to the west of the Passeiertal Valley, with a total area of 33,430 km2 and a unique alpine vegetation. Deer, chamois, marmots and ibex all dwell here.

The high alpine Spronserseen lake area, with its wide glaciers and mountain peaks rising to 3.700m a.s.l. are representative of the diverse mountain world of the Texelgruppe Nature Park. In the heart of the mountain massif lies the village of Moos/Moso, an ideal starting point for numerous hikes. It is also easy from here to explore the surrounding area, including the idyllic mountain village of Pfelders/Plan as well as other villages in the Passeiertal Valley.

To ensure that our landscape, flora, and fauna remain protected for the future, we ask you to follow a few simple rules of conduct. Together, we can make sure this special place stays just as it is: wild, peaceful, and unique.



1: Please leave your car behind.
Access to the Nature Park by car is not permitted. On foot, you can experience the landscape much more deeply, while also helping to protect animals and plants.

2: Camping? Yes – but in the right place!
As tempting as it may be to camp in the middle of nature, camping within the Nature Park is not allowed in order to protect sensitive habitats. Nearby campsites offer everything you need. More information here.

3: Take away what you bring with you.
Do not leave any litter: no packaging, no tissues, no banana peels. Nature will thank you!

4: Keep it quiet – animals need silence.
Avoid loud noises. Many wild animals are very shy and need peace and quiet to feel safe.

5: Flowers stay where they grow.
Plants are protected too. Do not pick flowers or herbs – they belong here and are a joy for all visitors.

6: Mushrooms are for looking, not picking.
Collecting mushrooms in the Nature Park is not permitted! You can find out about the regulations for mushroom picking in other areas of the Passeiertal Valley here.

7: Stay on the right path with your bike.
Keep your bicycle on the marked trails. This helps protect plants, animals, and the soil.

8: Four-legged friends welcome – with respect!
Dogs are welcome, as long as they are under control and do not disturb wildlife. Always keep them on a leash.

9: No fires in the Nature Park.
Open fires pose a serious danger to nature and are therefore not permitted – not even for barbecues or campfires.

10: Fossils and minerals? Leave them where they are.
Collecting fossils and minerals in the Nature Park is not allowed. If you happen to find something, please check here for the correct procedure.

11: Drones stay on the ground.
To protect the animals and the tranquillity of the park, flying drones is not permitted.


Thank you for helping to protect our nature!
With your respectful behaviour, you help keep the Nature Park a place for everyone – for animals, plants, and people.
