Winter Hiking Trail Ischgl

ISCHGL ISCHGL

The Ischgl winter hiking trail is perfect as an initial explorative tour or something for more leisurely days when on winter holidays. With 5 km of level routing, it is not overly demanding yet leaves you with the feeling of actually having done something. The hiking trail starts right by the Silvretta parking lot and is marked with a sign (entry point to cross-country skiing trail). In the beginning, a short walk leads directly along the cross-country skiing trail before the route branches off onto a separate trail in the hamlet of Paznaun. The trail continues across level terrain for 2,5 km in direction of Mathon.

Having arrived at the recycling yard, the following options are available: either take the same trail back (total length of hike 5 km) or take the bus back to Ischgl or continue hiking towards Galtür, where you can get on the Mathon winter hiking trail.

When exiting the village, cross the Valzur stream and walk to the wildlife park located below. Here you can stop off at the inn or take a bus for the return trip.

Alternatively, hike along the now opposite side of Trisanna stream back to Ischgl. The route proceeds almost exclusively level along the banks back to the starting point. Of course, the route can also be hiked in the opposite direction.

The hike starts at the football pitch in Galtür, first walking along the Trisanna stream over level terrain to the hamlet of Tschaffein. From there, take the footway to the „Rifugio“ holiday homes and then a short bit along the A-road, before continuing left back onto the steamrolled winter hiking trail. Above the road, hike through the woodland until walking down to the wildlife park along Valzurbach stream. After a short climb, continue along level terrain through the forest until getting to the romantically located forest chapel, and then the hamlet of Tschaffein, before arriving back in Galtür again.

The entire circuit of a total of 9 km (from and back to Galtür) does require some fitness - but any effort is soon forgotten when taking in the views of the mighty Ballunspitze (2,671 m) rising up from Galtür.

AT THE VERY TOP - Stories about Galtür and the world In AT THE VERY TOP, visitors listen to stories with all their senses.

About people who ventured into the great wide world from here.

About those who discovered the village in the valley from far afield.

Thus visitors will learn how teacher Anna Kathrein left her mark on generations of pupils. How a Galtür native got all the way to Jerusalem as a pilgrim and a Galtür mountain guide who joined in two Caucasus expeditions at the start of the 20th century. You‘ll hear the voice of the glacier and get to explore whether one of your forefathers was one of the Swabian children.

The memory of the avalanche on 23 February 1999 is also kept alive in the Alpinarium.

Somewhat steep to begin with, the hike leads through snowy winter scenery until getting to the small chapel, from where you have nice views of the village and various hamlets.
