Graun/Curon, Graun im Vinschgau/Curon Venosta, Vinschgau/Val Venosta
Sun-exposed trail run from Graun deep into the Langtauferer Valley. Well-runnable paths offer breathtaking views of the glacier world of Weißkugel.
from center
A wonderful training route on the south side of the Langtauferer Valley. Due to the orientation, this route, despite its altitude, is often runnable early in the year. From the starting point in Graun, the first kilometer leads somewhat steeper uphill. Soon, however, it becomes flatter, and you follow the trails and forest roads further into the valley. Most of the time, you head towards Melag on a comfortably runnable incline. Short sections also go downhill now and then, inviting you to catch your breath. Further into the valley, a fantastic view of the Weißkugel glaciers opens up. You can then conveniently return to Lake Reschen by bus.
