Winter hike Winter hiking trail Steinach to Matrei

Circular hike across the Tienzner plateau, with a magnificent view! A wonderful hike, which can be extended as a day tour with approx. 3h walking time and a stop in Matrei. If the way back to Steinach is too far for you, you can also use the Wipptal ski bus free of charge with the guest card.

Description

From the ice rink (or Steinach railway station) take the Promenadenweg to the Höhenweg to Mauern. There is a shortcut from the station via a small path that zigzags directly to the Höhenweg, but this is sometimes icy in winter. Continue north along the ridgeway via Mauern, on to St. Ursula's Church and follow the road to Tienzens. It is worth taking a look at the church of St. Ulrich there; shortly before reaching Tienzens, the signposts indicate the turnoff to Puig (trail no. 36A). From Puig, follow the signs further via Mühlen to Statz - Matrei. Visit Matrei with its beautiful house facades, inns and cafés. Well refreshed, trail no. 36 leads you along the valley floor back to Steinach.
