DIVISION OF THE HIKING- & MOUNTAIN TRAILS INTO LEVELS OF DIFFICULTY EASY HIKING TRAILS
...are relatively easy hiking - & mountain trails that can be narrow and steep. There are no direct passages at risk of falling.
MODERATE MOUNTAIN TRAILS
...are mostly narrow, often steep and can have passages at risk of falling. In addition, short insured walking passages (e.g., wire rope) can occur.
DIFFICULT MOUNTAIN TRAILS
...are narrow, often steep and have passages at risk of falling. There are parts of assured walking passages and/or simple climbing spots that require the use of the hands. Surefootedness and head for heights are essential.
4
10 TIPS • Only fit in the mountains and not „fit through the mountains“. • No mountain hike without careful tour planning. • Take the right equipment for the planned tour and nothing unnecessary. • Obtain information about the tour and the weather conditions. • Take a ten-minute rest every two hours. • Drink and eat plenty during the tour. • Never leave the signposted trail! • Stop the tour early in case of danger or weather deterioration. • An emergency kit (first aid box, bivouac sack, torch, mobile phone) belongs in every rucksack. • In case of emergency, stay calm and call the mountain rescue service (Alpine emergency call 140).

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
• Protect the injured from falling rocks, falls, avalanches, etc. • First aid (breathing, circulation, haemostasis, splinting etc.) • Protect the injured from weather conditions (wind, rain, sun, etc.). • Never leave the injured person alone. Continuous encouragement and support are essential for survival. Alpine emergency signal: Repeat a visual or acoustic signal at regular intervals of six times a minute - then pause for 1 minute - until a response is detected. If it is not possible to call for help from the site of the accident: the caller descends to get help - but never leave the injured person alone! If possible, do not descend alone. Give the caller the following information in writing: Exact location of accident, type of injury, number of injured and uninjured group members. Leave warm clothing, rain gear and food that is not needed with the injured person.

From See to the Vorarlberg border, you can hike the entire Paznaun area via the valley trail. The trail could not be more varied, alternating between gravelled forest paths, asphalt side roads and sections with fine forest soil. At times the trail leads directly along the Trisanna River at the bottom of the valley, at other times it leads along the sunny slopes of the valley with a view. The valley trail serves as a connection between the individual villages, but can also be tackled as an independent tour. In total, the entire route covers more than 30 km and almost 1,000 m of altitude.

Starting from the village square in Galtür, you take the path in the direction of the Jamtal valley and reach the Menta Alm, which is steeper at first and then flat. Here you already have a unique view of the Jamtal glacier at the beginning of the valley entrance. With the Menta Alm and the Scheiben Alm, this hike offers two cosy places to stop for a break. There is also the opportunity to taste Paznaun specialities. Especially at the end of June / beginning of July, the blossoming alpine roses form an additional impressive hiking backdrop.

Starting from the village square in Galtür, either follow the lakeside path along the Vermuntbach stream or hike along the valley hiking trail to Wirl. From there, follow the old Zeinisjoch road past the Klein Zeinis house until you reach the Zeinisjoch pass. This is not only the border between Tyrol and Vorarlberg, but also the watershed between the Rhine and Danube. The last stretch takes you along a mountain lake to the Alpengasthof Zeinisjoch. At this refreshment stop, you have a wonderful view of the Kops reservoir with its dam wall and an impressive panoramic view of the Alps with the local mountain of the Montafon, the Valülla (2,813m).

From the Galtür village square, walk past the soccer ground to the lakeside path. Cross the bridge and walk a short distance out of the valley to the signpost pointing to Sonnenkogel. From here the hike follows narrow meadow paths to the Sonnenkogel, which promises a wonderful view southwards into the Jamtal valley - with the Jamtal glacier, as well as the Hintere (3,156 m) and Vordere Jamspitze (3,178 m) peaks. In the southwest, impressive mountain giants like the Ballunspitze (2,671 m), the Valülla (2,813 m) or the Gorfenspitze (2,558 m) appear above Galtür.

The district of Tschaffein is reached from the village square of Galtür either via the riverside path along the Trisanna or the Maasweg on the opposite side. At the Trisanna house you cross the bridge, after which the hike runs pleasantly along the road to the Stafali junction. The Stafali Weiher is beautifully situated in the middle of the forest and invites you to linger with cosy barbecue areas. From there you will reach the Lareintal turn-off in about ½ hour, which will eventually lead you to the Larein Alpe. The Larein Alpe, a very nice and cosy stop for refreshments, also offers you the opportunity to taste and then buy delicacies from the Paznaun, such as milk, cheese and butter. The second option: hike in the direction of Mathon, past the sawmill on the right uphill through the forest to the Larein Alpe and back via Stafali Weiher.

With the Alpkogelbahn you reach the mountain station at approx. 2,000 m. From here, the trail descends slightly in the direction of the Ballunspitzbahn. Above the valley station, the trail climbs moderately past the Breitspitzbahn cable car until you finally reach the shore path of the Kopsstausee reservoir. Once here, you have a choice: either walk left over the dam wall to the Kopsstausee kiosk or right along the lakeside path directly to the Zeinisjoch inn. The Zeinisjoch pass is not only the border between Tyrol and Vorarlberg, but also the watershed between the Rhine and Danube. Alternative: counter-clockwise to the Faulbrunnalm; from there continue to the Weiberhimml and via the Himmlpfad back to Galtür.

From the village square in Galtür, follow the signs to the Sports & Cultural Centre and then climb towards Predigberg through the forest of the same name. After about 1 ½ hours, the landscape changes and it becomes much more alpine and you reach the „Bödale“, from where paragliders often take off. Here you already have a beautiful view of the valley as far as Kappl. Afterwards it becomes noticeably steeper and especially the last quarter of the route requires surefootedness on scree.The scenic mountain tour to the 2,645 metre high Predigberg offers tremendous views of the surrounding Silvretta peaks, the Jam and Larein valleys. The view of the two local mountains Gorfen- & Ballunspitze is particularly impressive.

Starting from the village square in Galtür, the hike leads towards the Alpinarium and from there to the hamlet of Winkl. From there it goes up through a steep forest towards Gorfenspitze. At just under 2,000 m, above the forest, the path is only suitable for experienced hikers due to its exposed nature. The trail continues to a yoke below the summit. From here it is very steep and partly easy climbing (difficulty level 1) to the start of the via ferrata. The ascent to the summit should only be tackled with complete via ferrata equipment (climbing harness, via ferrata set and helmet).
