Description

The hike starts at the village square Galtür, leading you flat along the Trisanna to the hamlet of Tschaffein. From there, continue on the pavement to the “Rifugio” house and briefly along the main road before returning to the groomed winter trail on the left. You hike through the forest above the road, reach the wildlife park by the Valzurbach, and after a short incline, you arrive at the romantic forest chapel. The 9 km loop requires some fitness but offers stunning views of the Ballunspitze.
