Description

Trail Entry Point:
At the Ganghofer Arch in Weidach (opposite of the soccer field)

Trail Character:
The A7 Gasse trail is flat and very sunny, making it ideal for beginners as there are no climbs or descents. It offers idyllic views, inviting skiers to fully enjoy the picturesque landscape. Along the route, there is an underpass below the main road, leading to the lower Gasse. From here, the trail follows the Ache river up to the turnaround point in Ahrn, where you can either continue towards Unterleutasch or head back towards the starting point.

Just after Poli’s Hütte, which is a cozy, sunlit spot to take a break, the route returns to the upper Gasse and the Ganghoferbogen.
Note:The road needs to be crossed on foot at this point.

The loop can also be shortened before reaching the main road via a connecting trail (approx. 1 km).

Connecting Trails:
A9 Unterleutasch, A6 Alpenbad, and C9 Plaik. For an overview of the entire trail network (including trail status) and useful cross-country skiing information (ticket machines, waxing and service stations, changing facilities, etc.), check the Cross-country skiing report.
