Hubertus cross-country skiing trail

Start
Nature Park Centre Piller Sattel / Gachenblick
Finish
Nature Park Centre Piller Sattel / Gachenblick

This is a rather demanding trail with set tracks for classic skiing and set skate skiing tracks in places. It meanders over 7.5 km in length through the partially thick forest areas. After approximately 2 km skiers reach a small clearing and the trail runs over a demanding ascent to the “Harbeweiher” pond. After a short loop around the frozen lake and a further ascent, the highest point of the cross-country skiing trail is reached. From there the trail again runs through dense forests back to the stating point. This cross-country skiing trail is ideal for nature lovers with adequate stamina. 

Luis-Trenker-Steig - Variante Wald

Start
Church in Wald (744m)
Finish
Church in Wald (750m)
From the Luis-Trenker-Steig car park, which is unfortunately currently closed, follow the signs for Wald and after approx. 50 metres on the main road, you will reach a wide forest path leading directly to Wald. This loop branches off to the left at the fire station. Follow the path over the Benni-Raich bridge to the Bungy-Stüberl, which invites you to take a break with a stunning view of the Pitzeschlucht gorge. From the Bungy-Stüberl, follow the "Luis-Trenker-Steig" signs to return to the starting point via a somewhat steeper path.

Glacier Trail Braunschweiger mountain hut

Start
Top station Gletscherexpress (2840m)
Finish
Mittelberg (1721m)
From the top station of the Glacier Express, follow the signposts downhill towards the glacier in the direction of the catered mountain hut Braunschweigerhütte. Follow the markings across the glacier. Caution: depending on the conditions, crampons may be advisable! After crossing the glacier, ascend to the Braunschweigerhütte. Once there, initially follow the Jägersteig [hunter’s trail] down into the valley until you reach the “Notweg” [emergency path] then passing the catered mountain hut Gletscherstube back down to the bottom station of the Glacier Express in Mittelberg.  

Hiking to the Gstoanig Kapelle [chapel]

Start
Car park Audershof (1298m)
Finish
Car park Audershof (1320m)
On the way to the catered mountain hut Larcher Alm, turn off left at the third bend and follow a path, which leads you directly to the ‘Gstoanig Kapelle’, a chapel. Return by the same route to the starting point.

Circular route Wald – Hohenegg – Wald

Start
car park Volksschule Wald (885m)
Finish
car park Volksschule Wald (885m)
ATTENTION: The path to the Walder waterfall is currently closed. (Status as of 10.04.2024)

Starting point: Church in the hamlet of Wald. Follow the path to the left of the church. When you reach the first bend, a steep path forks off to the left to the hamlet of Oberwaldried. Continue past the sports grounds and keep left to cross the Walderbach brook to get to the hamlet of Hohenegg (Erdpyramiden, engl. ‘earth pillars‘) For the way back turn left at the chapel and follow a picturesque track to the Walderbach stream, visit the waterfall – the 10 minute detour is well worth it – and follow the country road for the last stretch to return to the starting point.

Pitztal Glacier Express – From the glacier to the Braunschweiger Hütte

Start
top station of the Glacier Express (2847m)
Finish
Mittelberg (1749m)
The route between the top station of the Glacier Express and the catered mountain hut Braunschweiger Hütte appears to be easy but a treacherous glacier crossing lies in between the two points that should only be attempted with the correct equipment and necessary experience (required equipment: crampons, Grödel crampons). Descend from the Braunschweiger Hütte via a trail that joins with the agricultural road and leads past the Gletscherstube mountain hut.
 

Circular route Earth Pillars

Start
Car park Fußballplatz Wald (952m)
Finish
Car park Fußballplatz Wald (954m)
ATTENTION: The path to the Walder waterfall is currently closed. (Status as of 10.04.2024)

This hike to the earth pyramids starts at the car park Fußballplatz Wald (Wald football grounds) and leads via a beautiful path in the direction of the hamlet Hohenegg. On this path you will see “two towers with a stone hat” which only result from very special climate conditions from former moraine fields. Once you get to Walderbach stream you can follow it along a path (dead-end) to a waterfall. Return via the same path to the tarmacked road and, on a slight incline upwards, in the direction of Wald. Once at the top, a path turns off left through the forest and back to the starting point by the car park. 

Circular route small Stuiben waterfall

Start
Car park Schön (1069m)
Finish
Car park Schön (1069m)
After crossing the country road hike past the former pub Gasthaus Schön and follow the track on the right that turns into a very steep path up to Stuibenwasserfall (waterfall) after a few minutes. Once at the top enjoy the fresh air and the calming rushing of the waterfall. A further steep path that turns into a wider track takes you back in the direction of Jerzens. At the first fork, turn off to the left. This path takes you back to Schön and closes the circular route.

Experience hike Adlerhorst

Start
Tourist information office Arzl (851m)
Finish
Tourist information office Arzl (856m)
Starting point: Arzl tourist information office. This hike leads you down the stairs to the Gruabe arena and behind the fire station, then uphill to the left on the forest track in the direction of Imsterberg. Follow this path for approximately 500 m and then turn left onto a forest track in the direction of Arzl Rodelbahn (toboggan run in the winter). After a few minutes the path forks, turn left in the direction of Adlerhorst viewing platform. Continue on forest paths and over a short difficult passage (rocks, secured with fixed ropes) to reach Burgstall at the top. Past the radio mast, continue to the exit of the rocky track and then to the Adlerhorst viewing platform. At what is truly a breathtaking height, you can enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains and the track which runs directly below. The way back leads over the Burgstall, with a beautiful view of Leins and W ald villages, 
head left to the church of Arzl, then through the village back to the starting point.
