The medium-difficulty running loop in Vals offers a harmonious mix of paved paths, loose surfaces, and short asphalt sections, providing a well-rounded experience for all fitness levels.
Start your running loop at the Jochtal cable car parking lot, the starting point of the trail. Begin by running past the tennis hall and follow the path towards the Lucknerhütte. The route then takes you through part of the village before reaching the picturesque Flatscherhof. Continue past the Hotel Masl, cross the road, and follow the signs leading you through the tranquil forest back to the starting point.
Starting from Mühlbach, follow the Pustertal State Road (SS49) towards Vals. After a few minutes, take the turn onto the Vals Road (SP149), turning right and continuing uphill.
Once in the village of Vals, follow the signs to the Jochtal cable car. The cable car parking lot is located directly at the base station and is easy to spot. The entire drive takes about 15 minutes.
