Follow the “Pitztaler Sagensteig” [path of Pitztal’s legends] with five stops - about the myths and legends of Pitztal - up to the catered mountain hut Gletscherstube at the foot of the Mittelberg glacier. You can return back to Mittelberg via the same path or follow the agricultural road or the Talwanderweg [valley hiking trail] to Mandarfen.

The “Happy Track” starts at the public car park next to the community hall in the centre of Wenns. You will wak past historic buildings through Wenns for the first few metres to Hotel Pitztaler Hof. From there, head north and follow the signs to the “Talwanderweg”. Shortly after a small playground there is a junction, continue uphill in the direction of “Langenau”. The actual “Happy Track” starts there. There are three interactive stations focusing on the subject of “self-esteem”. Old thought patterns are questioned, inner strengths are brought to the fore and affirmations are used to show ways in which to gain confidence. At the end of the “Happy Track” there is visitor’s or “pathways book” which gives inspiration for the following day and you can also leave messages for others. Once you arrive at the small chapel in Steinhof, follow the signs again in the direction of the “Talwanderweg” to Wenns. The entire loop is almost six kilometers long and is manageable with an all-terrain pushchair.

Overlooking Gasthof Pitztaler Hof on the right of the old valley road, with beautiful views of Wenns and the Tschirgant, continue to walk to the next large fork. The middle forest path leads in the direction of Steinhof. Before you get to Steinhof a path turns off to the right in the direction of Bieracker. After crossing the country road the trail continues via Brennwald and past the Naturparkschule Neu Mittelschule back to the starting point. Tip: From the circular route “Rundwanderweg Bieracker - Alte Talstraße” you can also walk to Arzl (1h) or descend to the Plattenrainalm (1.5h) viewing platform.
