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.
Old road to Wenns
Start
Bus stop Arzl i.P. Timmls turnoff (927m)
Finish
Centre of Wenns (999m)
Starting point is the junction/bus stop Timls on the Pitztal country road. It is easiest to get there via Pitztal Regiobus or on foot walking along the Pitztal country road from the village centre of Arzl (ca. 1.5 km). At the junction walk to the first bend uphill in the direction of Timls and then turn off on to the “Alte Straße” (engl. old road, forest road) towards Wenns. Continue to walk to Wenns village centre always staying above the country road. Once there, you can either comfortably return to the starting point by taking Pitztal Regiobus or return by the same route. Walking time from the Timls turnoff to Wenns is approx. 1 hour and 20 min.
Circular route Matzlewald - Klausboden
Start
Bus stop Wenns Matzlewald (1141m)
Finish
Bus stop Wenns Matzlewald (1140m)
Start your walk from the Matzlewald bus stop. From there, hke in the direction of Matzlewald past a small sawmill. Continue to walk on the right on a forest road. After 50 metres turn right again and follow the signs to “Klausboden”. Enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding hamlets before reaching a romantic woodland area. After crossing two bridges you reach the Klausboden recreational area. Turn left there, stay on the forest road for about 50 metres and then immediately left again following the signs for Matzlewald. The initially quite steep forest road becomes pleasantly flat again after approx. 100 metres and runs back to Matzlewald with a wonderful view of the wintry Venet mountain ridge.
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.

Start

Wenns, car park Pitzenhöfe (862m)
Swiss-Trac Tour: There is a car park directly opposite the football pitch in Pitzenhöfe. From there, follow the path past the chapel on the left into the forest. The tarmac road stops here and turns into a gravel forest path. The path is wide and easy to navigate with the Swiss-Trac. It is a steady and steep uphill climb in the direction of Leins with water bars crossing the path at regular intervals. You will reach the hamlet of Unterleins after ca. 2.5 km. Here, the path follows along the village road through the hamlet until reaching the main road. The path continues on the opposite side to Oberleins, however, as it is hard to navigate. It is therefore advised to turn back and return via the same route to the starting point.
