Small Harbe circular route
Start
Naturparkhaus Kaunergrat (1575m)
Finish
Naturparkhaus Kaunergrat (1576m)
Swiss-Trac Tour: The start of this route is the same as the great Harbe circular route at Naturparkhaus Kaunergrat. From there, follow a narrow gravel path that changes into a wide forest path. After approx. 30 metres there is a junction. Turn right and start your circular route. The forest path will now climb continually. The gravel is loose and rough in places and several water bars cross the path. After approx. 1.5 km you will reach the Harbe meadows where a path forks off to the right (in contrast to the Great Harbe circular route, where you would continue to go on straight). From here, the path descends steadily for 1.5 km before the last section takes you uphill back to the starting point. Diagonal water bars cross the path along the entire length of the route and depending on weather conditions the path can be loose or lined with puddles.
Great Osterstein circular route
Start
Parkplatz Fußballplatz Arzl (865m)
Finish
Parkplatz Fußballplatz Arzl (864m)
Swiss Trac Tour: Starting point for this circular route is the car park near the football grounds in Arzl. From there, follow a forest path for a long and continually downhill section. The surface has loose, rough stones in places. After ca. 1 km you have reached the lowest point of this circular route, the path levels out for a while before continuing on another ca. 1 km long uphill section. Please note that the surface of the path is also loose in places here. At the end of the forest path turn to a tarmac road in the direction of Osterstein. The road continues uphill for several hundred metres past houses and alongside the road before turning right into Diemersteig, which is a well-prepared gravel trail through the forest. It is a slight uphill climb to return to the starting point.
Hike to Gletscherstube mountain hut
Start
Car park Mittelberg (1734m)
Finish
Car park Mittelberg (1734m)
Swiss-Trac Tour:
Use the car park at the end of the valley in Mittelberg, where a broad service road leads up to the catered mountain hut “Gletscherstube” on 1,926 m. The path to “Gletscherstube” is approx. 2 km long and is manageable with the Swiss-Trac in ca. 30 min. You can admire the end of the valley from the sun terrace. The anteroom of the toilet is accessible by mounting one step, however, the toilet cubicle door cannot be accessed as its door opens to the inside and it can therefore not be locked.
Altitude difference: ca. 120m, maximum gradient 5°

Circular route Pitzenhöfe
Start
Wenns Parkplatz Kirche/Mehrzwecksaal (976m)
Finish
Wenns Parkplatz Kirche/Mehrzwecksaal (983m)
Swiss-Trac Tour:
Please note that we recommend starting this circular route from Wenns in the direction of St Margarethen, as the forest path is very steep the opposite way around and in wet conditions assistance is required even when using the Swiss-Trac.
The route starts in Wenns following the pavement along the main road until reaching St Margarethen. After passing the M-Preis supermarket leave the main road and turn left into a side street. After ca. 500 metres the street enters a forest path. Depending on weather conditions, the surface of the path can be slippery, and especially the first section of the route is steep. Now follow an easily manageable downhill path through a forest for 1.5 km. There is a bridge after the woodland. Keep left and follow the tarmac road back to the centre of Wenns.

Great Harbe circular route
Start
Naturparkhaus Kaunergrat (1574m)
Finish
Naturparkhaus Kaunergrat (1574m)
Swiss-Trac Tour: Start: Naturparkhaus Kaunergrat. From there, initially follow a narrow gravel path that will change into a wide forest path. After ca. 30 metres you will reach a junction. Keep right and start your circular route. You can, of course, also take this route in the opposite direction. The forest path will now climb continually. The gravel is loose and rough in places and several water bars cross the path. After approx. 2.5 km you will reach a beautiful spot where you can enjoy views of the Harbe pond and the Harbe meadows which is ideal for a break. After ca. 3 km you will reach the highest point of this route. There is a turn-off to Aifner Alm, but remain on the path that is now taking you downhill and easy to navigate. The circular route will take approx. 2 hours and is 6 km long. Return to the starting point at Naturparkhaus via the same short path as at the beginning of the route.
Alte Straße from Wenns to Arzl
Start
Hinter dem Pitztaler Hof (1003m)
Finish
Abzw. Timmls (936m)
Swiss-Trac Tour: Please note that we recommend starting this route from Wenns in the direction of Arzl, as there is a steep forest section the opposite way around. Return via Regiobus shuttle bus.
Start this route in Wenns (if possible, park behind Pitztaler Hof). From there, the first kilometre is a steady uphill climb on a tarmac road in between houses. You will then reach a forest road with a central grass verge so that only the narrow tracks either side are drivable. The next kilometre continues to be a steady uphill climb, in parts through a forested area and always with beautiful views of the valley. The last part of this route is a steep downhill section where the path is, in parts, hard to navigate. You will then get back to the road where you will find the bus stop.
