Piller circular route
Start
car park Piller Zentrum (1346m)
Finish
car park Piller Zentrum (1346m)
Swiss-Trac Tour:
Start at the car park opposite the fire station in Piller. From there, follow the tarmac road in the direction of Galflunalm. It is a straight road in the direction of a forested area for the next 0.5 km. The gravel path is a little loose and with a rougher surface here. Before reaching the woodland, turn off into a grassed path with some larger stones, which make for a bumpy ride. Leave this path after 300 metres and turn right on the path that takes you back to the village. Several larger water bars cross this path. After a few metres keep to the right and follow the path downhill, where, once again, several water bars cross the path. After half a kilometre, you will pass the sports grounds and return to your starting point within 300 m.

Fischteich Piller circular route
Start
Piller car park Fuchsmoos (1354m)
Finish
Piller car park Fuchsmoos (1353m)
Swiss Trac Tour: The start of this circular route is the car park at the pond “Landschaftsteich” Piller. From there, follow the main road for a short while before turning off to the hamlet of Fuchsmoos on the left. Continue to follow the wide tarmac road uphill. After approx. 0.5 km leave the tarmac road. The route now follows an easy gravel path that is crossed by diagonal water bars at regular intervals. A small restaurant by the fishpond can be reached in ca. 20 min. The path now descends again, at first along a gravel path, before returning to a tarmac path. The tarmac path continues through the hamlet of Piller down to the main road. Once there, return to the car park following the main road, which can be busy at times.
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.
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.
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.

Pitzenhöfe - Unterleins
Start
Wenns, car park Pitzenhöfe (860m)
Finish
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.
Hike to Aifneralm mountain hut
Start
Car park near the hamlet Puschlin (1518m)
Finish
Car park near the hamlet Puschlin (1518m)
Swiss Trac Tour: Start: Please do not take the trail starting straight at the Naturparkhaus, as this features a short section that is not accessible by Swiss-Trac.
Start this route at the car park near the hamlet of Puschlin. Initially follow a well-prepared forest path. You will cover some altitude on this initial steep uphill section. Please note that you should never leave the main path. It leads past beautiful alpine meadows and after approx. 2/3 of the way, the surface of the path will become a little rougher and harder to navigate. After ca. 1.5 h you will reach the catered mountain hut “Aifner Alm”. The hut itself is accessible via a ramp, however, after rainfall the path leading up to it may be washed out in places. The toilet can be accessed by mounting one step. The corridor is very narrow due to a box. The toilet can be accessed by wheelchair but there is not sufficient space for turning circles.
