Luis-Trenker-Steig - Variante Wald

Start
Church in Wald (744m)
Finish
Church in Wald (750m)
From the Luis-Trenker-Steig car park, which is unfortunately currently closed, follow the signs for Wald and after approx. 50 metres on the main road, you will reach a wide forest path leading directly to Wald. This loop branches off to the left at the fire station. Follow the path over the Benni-Raich bridge to the Bungy-Stüberl, which invites you to take a break with a stunning view of the Pitzeschlucht gorge. From the Bungy-Stüberl, follow the "Luis-Trenker-Steig" signs to return to the starting point via a somewhat steeper path.

Hiking to the Gstoanig Kapelle [chapel]

Start
Car park Audershof (1298m)
Finish
Car park Audershof (1320m)
On the way to the catered mountain hut Larcher Alm, turn off left at the third bend and follow a path, which leads you directly to the ‘Gstoanig Kapelle’, a chapel. Return by the same route to the starting point.

Circular route Wald – Hohenegg – Wald

Start
car park Volksschule Wald (885m)
Finish
car park Volksschule Wald (885m)
ATTENTION: The path to the Walder waterfall is currently closed. (Status as of 10.04.2024)

Starting point: Church in the hamlet of Wald. Follow the path to the left of the church. When you reach the first bend, a steep path forks off to the left to the hamlet of Oberwaldried. Continue past the sports grounds and keep left to cross the Walderbach brook to get to the hamlet of Hohenegg (Erdpyramiden, engl. ‘earth pillars‘) For the way back turn left at the chapel and follow a picturesque track to the Walderbach stream, visit the waterfall – the 10 minute detour is well worth it – and follow the country road for the last stretch to return to the starting point.

Pitztal Glacier Express – From the glacier to the Braunschweiger Hütte

Start
top station of the Glacier Express (2847m)
Finish
Mittelberg (1749m)
The route between the top station of the Glacier Express and the catered mountain hut Braunschweiger Hütte appears to be easy but a treacherous glacier crossing lies in between the two points that should only be attempted with the correct equipment and necessary experience (required equipment: crampons, Grödel crampons). Descend from the Braunschweiger Hütte via a trail that joins with the agricultural road and leads past the Gletscherstube mountain hut.
 

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.

Circular route Earth Pillars

Start
Car park Fußballplatz Wald (952m)
Finish
Car park Fußballplatz Wald (954m)
ATTENTION: The path to the Walder waterfall is currently closed. (Status as of 10.04.2024)

This hike to the earth pyramids starts at the car park Fußballplatz Wald (Wald football grounds) and leads via a beautiful path in the direction of the hamlet Hohenegg. On this path you will see “two towers with a stone hat” which only result from very special climate conditions from former moraine fields. Once you get to Walderbach stream you can follow it along a path (dead-end) to a waterfall. Return via the same path to the tarmacked road and, on a slight incline upwards, in the direction of Wald. Once at the top, a path turns off left through the forest and back to the starting point by the car park. 

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.

Circular route small Stuiben waterfall

Start
Car park Schön (1069m)
Finish
Car park Schön (1069m)
After crossing the country road hike past the former pub Gasthaus Schön and follow the track on the right that turns into a very steep path up to Stuibenwasserfall (waterfall) after a few minutes. Once at the top enjoy the fresh air and the calming rushing of the waterfall. A further steep path that turns into a wider track takes you back in the direction of Jerzens. At the first fork, turn off to the left. This path takes you back to Schön and closes the circular route.

Experience hike Adlerhorst

Start
Tourist information office Arzl (851m)
Finish
Tourist information office Arzl (856m)
Starting point: Arzl tourist information office. This hike leads you down the stairs to the Gruabe arena and behind the fire station, then uphill to the left on the forest track in the direction of Imsterberg. Follow this path for approximately 500 m and then turn left onto a forest track in the direction of Arzl Rodelbahn (toboggan run in the winter). After a few minutes the path forks, turn left in the direction of Adlerhorst viewing platform. Continue on forest paths and over a short difficult passage (rocks, secured with fixed ropes) to reach Burgstall at the top. Past the radio mast, continue to the exit of the rocky track and then to the Adlerhorst viewing platform. At what is truly a breathtaking height, you can enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains and the track which runs directly below. The way back leads over the Burgstall, with a beautiful view of Leins and W ald villages, 
head left to the church of Arzl, then through the village back to the starting point.

Hike to Zollberg

Start
gondola top station (2025m)
Finish
gondola top station (2026m)
Starting point: gondola top station. To the right, a path with a moderate climb leads up to the Zollberg mountain (2,224 m). At the top, enjoy the magnificent panorama of the upper Pitztal valley all the way to the Wildspitze peak. Return via the same route.
