Vom Ausgangspunkt wandern Sie talauswärts dem Gehsteig der L16 bis zum Orts Ende entlang. Anschließend folgen Sie rechts dem präparierten Winterwanderweg bis nach Weißwald. Achtung: Sie müssen einmal die Landesstraße überqueren. From the starting point walk out of the valley along the L16 until the end of the village Plangeroß. Continue on the well groomed winter hiking trail to Weisswald. Attention: You have to cross the road L16. The sport and spa hotel Seppl is the first opportunity to take a break on this route. Cross the bridge on the left in front of the hotel and then hike back in the direction of Plangeross. Then cross the L16 country road and turn left to return to Plangeross and Hotel Sonnblick. The last few metres to the starting point are along the pavement. In Plangeross, Bergwerk restaurant is a comfortable place to take a break.

Starting point: Mittelberg, Pitztal Glacier Express. This Alpine route is one of the highlights of Pitztal. Take the Glacier Express to the top station then take the Wildspitz gondola up to 3,440 m. From the highest café in Tyrol, enjoy breath-taking views of the Wildspitze,  the  topmost  summit  of  Tyrol.  The  magnificent  environment  of  this  café provides an ideal setting for reflecting and focussing on the trek and enjoying the panorama vistas before setting out. 

Around 200 m from the top station of the Wildspitz gondola the entrance to the Pitztaler Gletschersteig [Glacier trail]. The path starts by leading over a ridge secured by manmade climbing aids. After mastering the ridge you will reach a flat plateau with a small lake. From there, walk along a moraine towards the valley. Just before the 
Taschachferner Glacier, climb a crag, which was refurbished with climbing aids in the summer of 2013. The landlord of the catered mountain hut Taschachhaus marks the best way to cross the Glacier with tripods. Depending on the condition of the Glacier, mountaineers may require crampons. 

The hut landlord can advise mountaineers before they set out. After crossing the Glacier, continue to walk beneath the Urkundkopf peak on the Rimlsteig, which leads directly to the Taschachhaus at 2,434 m. It is advisable to have a refreshment break at the Taschachhaus, since mountaineers face a 2 km descent to the goods cable car and a 7 km long forest track before they reach Mandarfen on their return.

Thiscircular winter hiking trail starts and ends at theZeigerrestaurant at the intermediate station of the Hochzeiger gondola. The approx. 700 m long hike leads in the direction of Zollberg through a pine forest and returns to the intermediate station. The first opportunity to have a break is the Zeigerrestaurant and the catered mountain hut Tanzalm  which is equally inviting is only a few minutes' walk. 

Starting point of this hike is the car park at Wald primary school (Volksschule Wald) and as the name of this hike suggests the route has street lighting all through the night and is therefore perfect for an evening or early morning walk. At the start walk past the church and the residential houses until you reach a flat, tarmacked road that connects the two hamlets Mairhof and Mauri. At the end of this road, turn off to the left and return via a through road to the starting point. Another plus of this walk is that it’s on a pavement most of the time.
