Starting point of this glacier tour is the Weißkugel hut, which can be reached from the Melag/Langtaufers car park via trail nr. 2 in about 2 hours. From the Weißkugel Hut, the route heads east across the moraine slope slightly downhill to Langtauferer Ferner. With the appropriate glacier equipment follow the Ferner towards the Langtauferer Joch and in a right bend at the foot of the Langtauferer Spitze further up to the Weißkugel Joch (3,368 m). The now following steep ascent over the eastern flank has to be approached with special caution, because depending on the snow conditions there can be bare ice. Below the summit you reach the north ridge with a wonderful view to Langtaufers. From there it is only a few meters to the beautiful summit cross of the Weißkugel.
The striking, chalky rock "Jaggl" above Graun/Curon and the Resia Lake offers a fantastic panoramic view. You start at the kitestation in Graun, cross the state road and then you follow the hiking trail no. 10 over beautiful meadows, along the forest road to the Grauner Alm alpine pasture, also called "Vivana Alm". The alpine pasture is not open for business. Behind the alpine pasture the path continues a little further east into the Vivana Valley before the track turns left. Over steep hills covered with Edelweiss flowers the path leads to the summit. The cross at the summit stands a little lower on a rocky ledge and offers a fantastic panoramic view. The descent follows the same route as the one going up.

Circular hike in the rustic Matscher valley with the possibility to stop at the Matscheralm.
The trail starts at the parking lot under the Almhotel Glieshof and goes about 20 m out of the valley, then a forest road turns off to the right. After about half an hour of walking, you can already see the Matscheralm (2,045m) on the left. The last few hundred meters are a bit steep, but once you have reached the Matscheralm, you can enjoy the unique mountain panorama in the Matschertal valley and perhaps spot some game. The way back starts behind the alp, follow the signs, via the Vinschger Höhenweg to the "Eisawiesen". Continue to the Thaneihöfe farms and back down the valley to the starting point.
The Klopairspitze peak rises above the mighty Resia Lake and offers a magnificent vantage point over the area. The ascent is not a "walk in the park", especially the last few metres across steep and rocky terrain. The hike starts in Graun/Curon with the ascent over the Grauner Berg mountain via the path signposted no. 5 on the sunny and plain southern hill and through the avalanche barrier to the Rossböden Alm alpine pasture. From there the route becomes increasingly steep until the last stage before the peak, where the terrain becomes extremely rocky. Caution and surefootedness are advisable on the summit ridge. The reward is a wonderful view over both lakes and peaks in all directions. The descent follows the same route as the one going up.

With an altitude performance of 8,126 m across the entire route, this high Alpine hike circumnavigates the Ortler Group, in sections running at over 3,000 m altitude, and is one of the most demanding high-altitude routes in the Alpine region. Here, everything is demanded of even the most experienced mountain hikers: surefootedness, good fitness and suitable equipment are basic requirements for the seven-day tour, as one section runs over glacial terrain. The company of a mountain guide is recommended.
The Ortler High Mountain Trail is approximately 119.5 km long, and offers a highly unique experience in nature. It is divided into seven daily stages, each of which can be completed in six to eight hours. The individual stages of the circular hike can also be undertaken as eventful single-day hikes exploring the wide variety of local fauna and flora in the Stelvio National Park. The ideal time for all experienced mountain hikers is between June to September, with mild temperatures and clear visibility offering a unique panoramic view of the Ortler Group glaciers. Each stage of this high Alpine circular hiking trail offers its own special scenic highlights in the truest sense of the word.
