Finish
Arzl/Wald car park by the church Wald (886m)
Swiss-Trac Tour: Start: car park near the church. From there, follow a tarmac road uphill past the parish office in the direction of Wald Mairhof. Following the road for ca. 0.5 km take the turnoff to the left. From there, follow a tarmac pedestrian way alongside the road for the next 0.5 km to the hamlet of Wald Obermauri. At the next junction turn left and follow Kugelgasse downhill. After ca. 30 m turn left and follow the pavement, which will take you back to the road. Once there, return to the church.
Wald 4
Start
Arzl/Wald car park by the church Wald (886m)
Finish
Arzl/Wald car park by the church Wald (887m)
Swiss-Trac Tour: Start: car park by the church. From there, take the tarmac road uphill past the parish office in the direction of Wald Mairhof. After driving alongside the road for ca. 0.5 km you will reach a junction. We would recommend to continue following the main road straight on and to continue the route in this direction. The road is very wide and with little traffic. Pass the next group of houses in the direction of the restaurant “Jausenstation Waldeck”. The path continues uphill until a turnoff on the left leads into a gravel forest path. The next section is downhill on loose surface. After another bend and a few metres, the gravel path leads on to a tarmac road, which continues downhill in the direction of the hamlet of Wald Obermauri. After a few 100 metres you will reach a junction. Turn left and the next 0.5 km follow a tarmac pavement alongside the road. At the next turnoff, turn right and continue downhill until you complete this circular route at the starting point.
Small Osterstein circular route
Start
Car park Fußballplatz Arzl (865m)
Finish
Car park Fußballplatz Arzl (865m)
Swiss Trac Tour: Starting point for this circular route is the car park near the football grounds in Arzl. From there, follow the tarmac road in the direction of the village. At the next junction turn right. After a short uphill section you will reach Diemersteig, which is a well-prepared gravel trail through the forest to the Osterstein hamlet. The route is overall relatively flat with short uphill or downhill sections. Once you have reached Osterstein, go through the houses, up- and downhill in places. The route is well signposted. Continue in the direction of Diemersteig through the hamlet until you reach the edge of the forest. Continue past a playground until you reach another forest road and the Diemersteig. The route takes you back to the starting point.
Rifflsee cross-country skiing trail
Start
Rifflsee railway top station
Finish
Rifflsee railway top station
Access this trail via Rifflsee mountain railway (return ticket) up to the top station. After accessing the cross-country skiing trail opposite the top station of the “Hirschtal drag lift” a slightly steeper stage of the trail runs downhill for approximately 300 m before you reach the actual cross-country ski trail. Once there, you can enjoy the magnificent panoramic views of Rifflsee on a classic or skate skiing track. Please don’t forget that you are skiing on a trail at an average of 2,250 m and will therefore tire more quickly than usual. For refreshments you can stop at the “Sunna Alm” or “Riffelseehütte“ mountain huts.
Hike to Taschachalm mountain hut
Start
Mandarfen Car Park Rifflseebahn (1675m)
Finish
Mandarfen Parkplatz Rifflseebahn (1675m)
Swiss-Trac hike: From the car park at Rifflseebahn gondola take the service track to the “Taschachalm” on 1,830 m. The trail is 1.5 km long and is manageable with the Swiss-Trac in approx. 30 minutes. The terrace can be accessed via a wooden ramp. The spacious terrace of the catered mountain hut “Taschachalm” offers beautiful views of the mountains that are part of Rifflsee ski resort during the winter season. The toilets are in the basement but this can also be accessed via a side entrance from the outside. Here, only one step must be mounted. The toilet cubicle is 115 cm wide and 190 cm deep. The door is 80 cm wide.
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.
Neururer cross-country skiing trail
Start
Hamlet Scheibe (1387m)
Finish
Hamlet Scheibe (1389m)
After the start in Scheibe this cross-country skiing trail meanders along the waterfall circular route and then continues on the valley cross-country trail to Neurur. After a little loop return to your starting point via the same route. The impressive view of the frozen Klockele waterfall makes this trail a truly great “nature experience”.
Kitzgarten cross-country skiing trail
Start
Hamlet Boden
Finish
Hamlet Boden
The Kitzgarten circular route runs from Boden all along the valley cross-country skiing trail through the impressive Kitzgarten gorge. Turn around in Wiese to get back to your starting point in Boden.
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°
