Seeweg Reservoir
Start
Eingang am Seeweg Speicherteich (1437m)
Finish
Eingang Seeweg Kaitanger (1437m)
Swiss-trac tour: Park directly next to the valley station of Hochzeigerbahn gondola and then take the Swiss-Trac down the road before turning right for a nice, short circular route around the lake (ca. 10 min.). It’s a loose gravel path that is accessible by Swiss-Trac.
Valley hiking trail with e-handbike
Start
Mandarfen (1679m)
Finish
Wiese (1177m)
Hike with E-Handbike: The valley hiking trail from Mandarfen to Wiese (ca. 22 km) can be navigated either by electric handbike or sections of it by Swiss-Trac. If you are using an electric handbike, we would advise to start in Mandarfen and take the route out of the valley. The route is overall challenging as it repeatedly features steep inclines and varied terrain. There are several sections through grazing pastures. We would recommend the following sections for Swiss-Trac users:
- Mandarfen and Neurur (ca. 6 km)
- Stillebach and Eggenstall (ca. 4 km)
- Enger and Wiese (ca. 5 km)
Sculpture trail
Start
Mandarfen Parkplatz Mittelberg (1673m)
Finish
Mandarfen Parkplatz Rifflseebahn (1673m)
The sculpture trail starts directly next to the valley station of Rifflseebahn gondola. Wheelchair users can easily access the first section of the trail as the stone sculptures are erected next to the tarmac trail. There is only a minor incline at the start where little help is required. Some of the stone sculptures are right next to the trail, others can be viewed from afar. Overall, this wheelchair-accessible section of the sculpture trail takes approx. half an hour and it returns to the starting point in the village adjacent to the main road.
Piller Moor nature trail – wheelchair-accessible route
Start
Car park at the entrance to Piller Moor (1526m)
Finish
Car park at the entrance to Piller Moor (1526m)
It is approximately 500 metres on a gravel path to the turf house square [Torfhüttenplatz] where the path forks off. Turn left to get to Piller Moor natural landmark and the moor observation tower or turn right to walk past the winter feeding station and a path that leads to the peat cutting area. After approximately 200 metres you will reach a platform, which reveals a view of the “Putzenmoos” that is well worth seeing. Here, peat was still cut until the early 1970s. The wheel-chair accessible path then continues for approximately 300 metres until you reach the moor. From there, the road is no longer suitable for wheelchair users.
Rifflsee circular route
Start
Rifflsee gondola bottom station (2288m)
Finish
Rifflsee gondola bottom station (2289m)
Take the Rifflsee gondola to the top then walk by the Rifflsee circular route [Rundwanderweg Rifflsee]. This trail is especially suitable for families (including prams) and for the elderly.
Wald 3
Start
Arzl/Wald car park by the church Wald (886m)
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.
Söllberg waterfall circular route
Start
Wiese (1194m)
Finish
Söllberg-Wasserfall (1189m)
Starting point: Car park at the end of Wiese. From the starting point initially follow the forest road in the direction of Söllberg waterfall. The forest road eventually leads to a trail. Return via the same route back to the Söllbergalm turnoff, then turn left to walk down a trail. After approximately 500 metres you will reach the agricultural road on which you carry on walking downhill for approximately 150 metres before reaching the next turnoff. Then turn right onto the forest road that will take you back to your staring point.
Beginner Route
Start
Mittelstation Hochzeiger (2025m)
Finish
Kalbenalmweg (2153m)
This beginner’s route is ideal for those who dare to take their first steps on touring skis. The first few meters are very flat, which is perfect to get used to your new sports equipment. It then gets a little steeper and you get a little more feel for walking with climbing skins. Once you have reached your destination (Kalbenalmweg), you can ski back to the start on the piste, or you can take the Sechszeiger route and continue a further 233 meters in altitude to the mountain station of the Sechszeigerlift.
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.
