I.19 Fair Trail Schäfersteig
The tour starts in Samnaun village and runs on the north side of the valley in a combination of uphill and downhill. The first part is uphill on a forest road to viewpoint 2146. 80 metres uphill, with a few sections where you have to push your bike, you are rewarded with a breathtaking view over the Samnaun valley after the impressive avalanche barriers. At point 2167, an exciting descent begins with steep, rooty and winding sections, where adrenaline junkies get their money's worth. At point 2036, a forest road leads to Fuorcla Curschiglias, where a cosy bench invites you to take a short break. The route continues through the forest with many exciting hairpin bends to the valley road in Samnaun-Compatsch. The crowning glory is the ascent along the Schergenbach stream back to Samnaun village. The Fair Trail Schäfersteig demands technical ability and fitness and rewards you with spectacular views over the Samnaun valley. (Difficulty level difficult)
With the railway station in Landeck, the Paznaun is optimally connected to the Austrian train network. From Landeck-Zams station, only a short bus ride separates you from the Paznaun. Every half hour, line bus 260 runs from there through the valley. Bus stop: Ischgl Silvrettabahn
