Swiss-Trac Tour: Start: car park near the church. From there, follow the tarmac road for 0.5 km along Lenegasse through the hamlet of Wald. Near Wald Obermauri just in front of the post box turn left into a wide farm track that can be easily managed by using the Swiss-Trac. After approx. 0.5 km you will reach a turn-off.

Swiss Trac or Speed bike tour: The route starts from the car park at the fire station with a short, steep ca. 100 m climb on a tarmac road. This is easy to manage by Swiss-Trac. The route carries on with continuous up- and downhill sections. After approx. 0.5 km continue on the forest path with a high central grass verge. The circular route returns in the direction of the houses and the car park along the main village road, which has little traffic.

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.
Hochaster Alm circuit
Start
Plattenrain (1476m)
Finish
Plattenrain (1477m)
This “beginner’s circuit” starts off at the Plattenrain car park following a forest road just behind the catered mountain hut Puitalm at Plattenrain in the direction of the non-catered mountain hut Timler Alm. Once there, there is a slight downhill section in the direction of Imsterberg and at the fork follow the slightly steeper ascent up to a point just below the catered mountain hut Venet Alm. Then continue to run on the signposted path in the direction of the catered mountain hut Hochaster Alm and return to your starting point. Duration: 1 h 30 min - 2 h
Kreuzjoch circuit
Start
Plattenrain (1481m)
Finish
Plattenrain (1480m)
Starting at the Plattenrain car park this trail follows a pretty steep path opposite of the catered mountain hut Puitalm at Plattenrain up towards the catered mountain hut Hochaster Alm and then on to the catered mountain hut Venet Alm. Once there, you can take in the magnificent panoramic views to the Hochzeiger summit and the upper Pitztal valley. The path then turns a bit more rugged and leads (via the Imsterbergkreuz) to the highest point, the Kreuzjoch summit. Once there, follow the downhill path in the direction of the catered mountain hut Galflun Alm and then continue on a forest road to the catered mountain hut Larcher Alm and Venet Alm. Then follow the path that you already know from your ascent, back down to the starting point.
Large Venet circuit
Start
Plattenrain (1478m)
Finish
Plattenrain (1474m)
This “Queen’s stage” is the same route to the Kreuzjochspitze as described in the “Kreuzjoch circuit” but then follows along the Venet ridge via the Wannejöchl, the Glanderspitze and almost to the top station of the Venet mountain railway. Once there, follow a path to the catered mountain huts Gogles Alm, Galflun and Larcher Alms and on to the Venet Alm. Return to your starting point via the same path as on your way up. The Large Venet circuit passes four summit crosses and four catered mountain huts – making this circuit an extra special experience.
