Short and easy circular route ideal for beginners, with views of the Porta Claudia ruins and Klammgeist legend.
This trail is freshly groomed every day. However, icy and slippery sections may still occur.
Trail access:
Schanz district (near the restaurants Bärenwirt and/or Klammgeist) in Leutasch
Trail characteristics:
The Bärenwirt trail is a short and easy loop, perfect for beginners. Opposite the Bärenwirt and the Klammgeist (turnaround point) lies the Porta Claudia ruin – the former fortress that once guarded the border between Bavaria and Tyrol (the old customs post). From here, you can also catch a glimpse of the Ederkanzel. At the end of the Leutasch Valley, you can also hear the legend of the Spirit Gorge (Klammgeist) during the summermonths.
If you prefer not to ski back, you can also take the bus: regular buses run from the Bärenwirt/Klammgeist stop back to Gasse or Weidach.
