The Libaneresloipe leads from the edge of the village to the valley station and back again. From the valley station you can join other trails. The trail is the perfect circular route with one or two slight ascents and descents. Refreshment stops: Gasthof Martha or Restaurant Arsangs at the valley station.
Tip: The best way to get to the start is on foot via Alte Straße past Naudersberg Castle in the direction of the valley station / Gasthof Martha or via the Oberdorf connecting trail.

From the car park of the game animal enclosure above Stelvio/Stilfs, via an easy hiking trail to the Prader Alm Alpine pasture and to the Furkelhütte hut. 

The Reschen circular trail, which can be combined several times, is very attractive for cross-country skiers. 
You can start from Gasthof Martha via the Libaneresloipe, which then joins the Reschenloipe at the valley station, or you can start directly at the valley station. The trail leads across the slightly hilly Arsang meadows in the direction of Fuhrmannsloch. With a short ascent and equally long descent, you run to the border. Here you can cross the federal road and continue to the Reschensee lake, where the church tower of Alt-Graun, juts out of the ice. There are refreshment stops right at the national border.

The Moas high-altitude trail runs through a very beautiful forest landscape from the Norbertshöhe to the Pflanzgarten and back again. The trail is exposed to rougher terrain and therefore technically more demanding to run. However, the scenic view of the Engadine compensates for this. Stop for refreshments at the Gasthof Norbertshöhe.

From the train station in Lasa the tour leads to the village center, past the marble Emperor Franz Josef I. (Raiffeisen square) to the parish church with cemetery and Marx church, to the marble world in the tricorn of the Lasa Marmo (visit with the Lasa marble guide).

On the bike path you will find art: “Pillars of Freedom” created by international artists (at the Marmor & Marillen festival 2017). The view follows the sloped railway to the Monte Tramontana mountain and up to the “Bremsberg”, where, with a bit of luck, the train transports a block of marble weighing several tons into the valley. At the Bagni square, the marble fountain refreshes with a view over the river Adige to “Pfeiler and Koundl”. The marble walkway leads to the way of the cross, which goes through the orchards to the sanctuary of Maria Lourdes.

Back in the village, the path leads past the “Johannes Steinhäuser” school for stonecarving and numerous artworks, to the hill of St. Sisinius church - 360° panorama: Monte Sole mountain, Sesvenna group, Stelvio National Park, Lasa Valley with the Croda Jenne, fruit and vegetable gardens.

A wonderful training route on the south side of the Langtauferer Valley. Due to the orientation, this route, despite its altitude, is often runnable early in the year. From the starting point in Graun, the first kilometer leads somewhat steeper uphill. Soon, however, it becomes flatter, and you follow the trails and forest roads further into the valley. Most of the time, you head towards Melag on a comfortably runnable incline. Short sections also go downhill now and then, inviting you to catch your breath. Further into the valley, a fantastic view of the Weißkugel glaciers opens up. You can then conveniently return to Lake Reschen by bus.

The running trail from Melag to the Melager Alm in Langtaufers is a scenic route for running enthusiasts. The run starts at the parking lot in the hamlet of Melag. From the parking lot, you run into the valley and turn right between the houses. Signs 2 and 5 mark the path, which is also clearly visible without markings. With a gentle incline, you jog to the Karlinbach, cross the bridge, and continue on a flat path to the alm. At the valley's end, there are impressive views of the snow-capped peaks surrounding the Weißkugel, with numerous three-thousanders flanking the valley to the north and south. The return is via the same route.
As an alternative for runners, starting from the hamlet of Kappl at the former valley station of the Maseben lift is recommended, where you can follow the forest road to the Melager Alm
