Wandern und Bergsteigen in Vinschgau

Worthwhile mountain tour with unforgettable views over the holiday regions in the region Passo Resia, Tiroler Oberland and Unterengadin. Starting point: Northern end of the village of Reschen Descent: Along the ascent route Difference in altitude: Sesslad 900m, Piz Lad 1300m (1973m). Ascent time: Sesslad approx. 3 hours, Piz Lad approx. 4 hours Slope direction: south-east Ski technique: summit slope medium, otherwise easy Alpine technique: easy Note: the very steep and long summit slope must be approached carefully Ascent: At the end of the Anchor lift, turn right and ascend over gentle terrain, past the Bergstadeln. At the end of the meadow, keep slightly to the right up to the Reschner Alm 2020m. From here, follow the summer path almost horizontally to the right edge of a steep upswing. Behind this, turn left (westwards) briefly steeply into a shallow hollow. After the tree line, keep left to the weather cross at Sesslad 2375m. If the snow conditions are uncertain, stop there and enjoy the view. From here, the rest of the ascent route over the very steep southern flank is quite clear. Climb very steeply between rock ribs from left to right up to the large slope area. Keep to the right as far as possible to the summit cross at 2808m.

The lucrative peak tour on the Angelo Grande/Hohe Angelus (3,530 m) starts from the Serristori Alpine hut. The high mountain tour with via ferrata (B/C) is moderately difficult and practically free of ice, and provides mountain climbers with a wonderful panoramic view. 

Head past the Stilfser Alm Alpine farm into the broad valley and up to Piz Sielva mountain. This tour to Piz Sielva leads you past the Stilfser Höfe farms and Untere Stilfser Alm Alpine farm. Even the journey to the starting point, which takes in a section of the Stilfserjoch pass road, is packed with attractions including colourful sculptures and artworks at the entrance to the village of Schmelz. This tour is highly popular among locals and visitors alike.

The Dossobello di Dentro/Hintere Schöneck is a beautiful mountain tour of about 12.5 km length. Arriving at the summit of the Dossobello di Dentro, especially the view of the Königsspitze, Zebru and Ortler is unique. For this relatively easy mountain tour, however, surefootedness and a good head for heights are necessary.

From Sulden/Solda to the Zufallhütte mountain hut:

Difference in height: 1.300 m
Descent: 870 m
Length: 14 km
Duration: 8 h

Starting point: Small car park (1920m) at the end of the road to Rojen/Schöneben. Descent: along the ascent route Notes: In good conditions and with a sensible choice of route, the tour does not present any particular difficulties. Avoid at all costs in unfavourable visibility conditions (orientation difficulties!) Ascent: On the right side of the valley, the route is initially rather flat, heading south-westwards. Before you come to a collection of idyllic mountain barns, you climb over the gentle slopes of the mountain meadows, keeping slightly to the right, before ascending to the right over an almost treeless ridge. The first slope is a little steep and requires caution, then continue over the ridge until you reach the Wetterkreuz cross south of the Inn. Nockenkopf (up to here the tour corresponds to that to the Inner Nockenkopf). Continue westwards over gentle hollows. At first glance, the destination is not yet clearly recognisable, but as the ascent progresses, everything becomes clearer. A little caution is required on the last summit slope, which is negotiated from left to right. Further ascent: You can also continue further into the valley and follow the first section of the route to the Grionkopf, then, always skilfully avoiding steep slopes and V-slopes, turn right up towards Grionplotten.

If you want to experience the most powerful mountains of all mountains up close, you shouldn't miss a ski tour to the Suldenspitze peak. This tour is with a duration of 4 hours and 6 km an easy tour and rewards the ski tourers with an unique alpine panorama of Königsspitze Peak, König Ortler Peak and Cevedale Peak.

The Haideralmbahn, which is centrally located in the village, shines in winter with offers for everyone. From winter hikes, beginner's slopes and wonder carpet to a fantastic downhill run. You can take a break in the restaurant right next to the mountain station, so that non-skiers can also enjoy a warm meal without any problems. A ski tour & snowshoe evening is also organised weekly

In summer you will be taken to the wonderful hiking area. Children will enjoy the various attractions, while parents can pamper themselves on the magnificent panoramic terrace. The number of hiking possibilities knows no limits.
A little insider tip: The panoramic trail Haideralm - Schöneben

The round of the Reschensee is a special experience for hikers and runners. The wonderful views of the Ortler is unique. The tower in the lake completes the picture. He is the last witness of the sunken village of Graun which can live the story.

The skiing area in the middle of the lake landscape in Reschen does justice to its name: 15 lifts, snow guarantee until spring and wide slopes offer variety for families, snowboarders and skiers. 65 kilometres of perfectly groomed pistes and the lifts promise a varied skiing day in the Venosta valley. A skiing area for families

In summer, the Schöneben cable car takes both hikers and bikers to the top. Once you reach the top, it is a true paradise for active holidays. Especially the 3-country Enduro Trails are a paradise for adrenalin junkies. You can take a break either in the mountain restaurant or in Sciuri at the valley station

You walk past the stations of the Way of the Cross (each around 300 metres long) until you reach the end of the hike, a charming little church in the middle of a dense forest.

Starting point of this tour is the Restaurant Alpenfriede in Gschwell in the Langtaufers valley.  From there turn left across meadows onto a forest path. Follow this until you reach a mountain barn, then turn left and follow the old military track until you reach the edge of the forest. Caution is advised there. The terrain then becomes pleasant and flat. Over wide hollows to the right of the saddle, past the Wetterkreuz and up to the Wölfelesjoch. This is where the striking south ridge begins, which is partly done on skis and partly on foot.

Small but idyllic waterfall above the Schlanders sports and leisure center.

At Sur En - which means ‘over the Inn’ - cross-country skiers also cross the river and continue alternately through open terrain or sparse forest. The trail is always close to the water as far as Ramosch.

A very long and challenging, but also very rewarding trail run high above the Langtauferer Valley. From Graun, the trail climbs steeply over the Rossböden Alm up to 2,700 m, where the high-altitude trail then leads partly inward. The path winds its way along the mountain ridge in a constant up and down. The views of the surrounding glaciers, especially the Ortler Group, are breathtaking! After about 20 km, there is the option to run to Melag if a storm is approaching or if you are already very tired. However, if the weather is good and you have enough energy reserves, you should definitely continue to the Weißkugelhütte, where you can replenish your energy stores before tackling the downhill.
Be sure to pay attention to having enough provisions; there are many streams to refill water, but no managed hut until the Weißkugelhütte.

The Solda Glacier Trail runs along the foot of the Gran Zebrù/Königsspitze, Zebrù and Ortler. It is not a fixed path, but a route with orange and yellow wooden posts, which has to be renewed every year because the glacier is constantly moving. The unique moraine field occasionally releases war relics of the 1st World War.

The first and only Funslope of South Tyrol combines perfectly groomed slopes, a snow park and a snowboard cross for a unique experience and great fun.
The new, 800m long skiing Funslope offers everything skiers could ask for in terms of a perfect winter’s day on the slopes. Next to 3m and 4m ski jumps, the perfectly groomed slopes offer a snow fun-box, two 6m Corners and a 5m long up-down. A Dancefloor and Rainbow butterbox await true masters and adventurous freestylers. But there is more: a new 5m long tube, a 7m long tunnel and a spiral track for action-packed runs.

An oversized bird's nest is inviting, as is a flood model and other highlights.

Experiments can be carried out on site and research questions solved at 19 stations on various nature-related topics. The nature experience trail is just as suitable for families as it is for school classes, groups and guests. Everything is signposted in German and Italian.

From "How old was this tree?" to "What local materials can you recognise at this station?", there is something for young and old explorers alike. And the answer "I don't know that yet" is okay! What researcher knows everything straight away? Perhaps the next visit to the Schludernser Au forest or the one after that will shed some light...

A lovingly designed research booklet is used to write down the research results and to continue researching next time. The booklet will be available from spring 2024 at the Schluderns and Mals information offices and can also be found in a special box at the entrance to the nature experience trail  in the Schludernser Au. The research booklet is available in German and Italian.

There is also a RESEARCH BACKPACK for the nature experience trail in the Schludernser Au, which can be borrowed from the Schluderns and Mals information offices from spring 2024 for a deposit. With the 12 aids and tools from the backpack, the tasks are even easier to solve. With a stethoscope, metre stick and beaker magnifier etc., researching in a team is even more fun. There are also plenty of research backpacks for school classes or groups.
