Arrival by public transport
Take the bus to the Mandarfen Rifflseebahn stop.
Where others climb, you run. The Taschachhaus loop is a demanding trail and, at around 20 kilometers in length and 1,000 meters in altitude, a real challenge even for hardened mountain runners.
Starting from Mandarfen in the rear Pitztal valley, the route first leads to the Taschachalm and later via the panoramic Fuldaer Höhenweg to the Taschachhaus. The Alpenvereinshaus of the German Alpine Club invites you to stop for refreshments before descending steeply over glacier moraines in the imposing mountain world of the Pitztal Alps. The last few kilometers run out of the valley on a flat farm track - the ideal way to end such a long route.
Starting in Mandarfen, initially cross the bridge to the mountain rescue building and then turn left and follow the agricultural road up to the Taschachalm. Once there continue to run on the right hand side on the path leading up to Rifflsee Lake until a path forks off on the left. Instead of continuing up to Rifflseee, turn left and run via the Fuldaer high-level trail to the catered mountain hut Taschachhaus. Once there, it is a steep descent down across the glacier moraine passing the bottom station of the goods cable lift and on to the agricultural road at the bottom of the Taschach valley back to the Taschachalm. Return via the same route to the starting point in Mandarfen. Caution: This is a very long trail of over 20 kilometres! It can be shortened by descending at the Fuldaer high-level trail back down to the Taschach valley, but please note that the path leading downhill can be easily overlooked.
Take the bus to the Mandarfen Rifflseebahn stop.
Parking available at the Rifflseebahn.
