The hike starts at the football pitch in Galtür, first walking along the Trisanna stream over level terrain to the hamlet of Tschaffein. In the area "Kind" is blocked!
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. Those who think this is too far can shorten the circuit by hiking only to the wildlife park and taking a bus back to Galtür from there.

Here, follow the groomed path below the new pump station along the dam of the “new reservoir” until after about a ½-hour walk you’ll get to the and of the path (way back along the same route). All in all, a peaceful and leisurely tour for those who like to take things a little slower. Those who like can put in a short walk along the border of the lake of the upper reservoir first. This short detour from the hike proper is well worth the effort, as benches provide a chance to put in a well-deserved break.

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.

This 6 km long winter hiking trail can be combined with the winter hiking trail from Ischgl. Alternatively, take the bus to the entry point.
The route immediately starts off with a short climb, but then levels out again and continues on the gallery and then close to the forest to Mathon. 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 starting point ‘Friedrichshafener Hut' car park is located in the Valzur area between Ischgl and Galtür and is accessible either by car or by bus (Piel bus stop – then walk a short section out of the valley).
The route proceeds upwards, in lots of switchbacks, but is never too steep - you cover some 500 meters to reach your destination. A fantastic viewing point beneath Friedrichshafener Hut (closed in the winter), with views to the impressive mountains in the Silvretta and Samnaun groups. Return via the same route.

Nowhere else can the beauty of winter be better enjoyed than on a walk through the snow.
Enjoy the peacefulness of nature on a walk along the winter hiking trail from See to Kappl. The trail starts at the Kappl cable car and crosses a bridge at Hotel Mallaun, then heading out of the valley for a short bit before the forest path begins heading into the valley towards Kappl. The route leads past the hamlets of Schnatzerau, Habigen, Sesselebene and Holdernach, through forest and meadow paths alternating with sealed sections. Before getting to Kappl, you'll also hike through Platti, Untermühl and Schmiedsegg. The route is very varied and you'll get to see the individual – in part very original hamlets – along the way. If you want to hike just one section, you can get back from Kappl to See easily with the bus.
