closed
Difficulty ratings: medium
Route length: 10.0 km
Duration: 2:00 h

This trail leads steadily uphill along the babbling Pletzach into the beautiful Gerntal valley. Even if it requires a little practice, we like to make the journey there simply because of the scenic beauty and wonderful tranquillity.

We recommend because:

Varied cross-country ski circuit into the Gerntal valley with harmonious alternation of quiet forest passages, open valley sections and gentle climbs. Along the way, the stream bed and the alpine surroundings characterize the landscape, while the managed Pletzachalm and Gern Alm invite you to enjoy a break. Perfect for experienced beginners and advanced skiers who appreciate a scenic trail with a balanced sporting challenge.
