Description

The winter circular trail starts at the Galtür village square, leading you flat along the Trisanna river to the hamlet of Tschafein. From there, continue on the pavement to the “Rifugio” house and briefly along the main road before returning to the groomed winter hiking trail on the left. You hike through the forest above the road, reach the wildlife park by the Valzurbach stream, and after a short incline, you arrive at the romantic forest chapel. The nine-kilometre hike requires some fitness but offers stunning views of the Ballunspitze.
