Hiking

Trail f | Jochgrimm - Schwarzhorn - Truden

Aldein/Aldino
Challenging Schwarz-Weiß Trail stage from Jochgrimm via Schwarzhorn and the Kaltenbrunn Ice Holes to Truden.
from center

This challenging hike begins from the Jochgrimm. You then have to master approx. 500 meters of altitude-differential until you come to the Schwarzhorn (2,439 meters above sea-level). The trail then leads you around and down the other side of the Schwarzhorn until you come to the Kugeljoch; from this pass, you have a magnificent panoramic view of the Fleims Valley. You can now proceed down the "Leitensteig" staircase until you reach the Kaltenbrunn "Ice Holes," where it's pleasantly cool even in the summertime. From Kaltenbrunn (where hikers will find a number of refreshment options and also access to public transportation), there is still a short segment slightly uphill to Truden. This is a uniquely beautiful hike and is – in spite of the level of difficulty – an absolute "must" for ambitious hikers.

Itinerary
The hike starts at Jochgrimm Pass and climbs to the summit of Schwarzhorn (2,439 m). From there, the trail descends to Kugeljoch before continuing down the steep Leiten Trail to the Kaltenbrunn Ice Holes. The final section leads via Kaltenbrunn to the village of Truden.
