Hiking

Trail f | Truden - Schwarzhorn - Jochgrimm

Aldein/Aldino
Demanding Black and White Trail stage from Truden to Jochgrimm via Schwarzhorn and Kugeljoch with outstanding alpine panoramas.
from center

This challenging hike from Truden via the Schwarzhorn and all the way to the Jochgrimm is a unique adventure. From Truden, you'll first proceed uphill to Kaltenbrunn (refreshment stop and access to public transportation). From here, you can then proceed to the famous "Ice Holes" – an unusual phenomenon where cold air streams out of holes in the ground even on the hottest days of summer. You will then proceed steadily uphill via the challenging "Leitensteig" staircase until you come to the Kugeljoch; from this pass, you have a magnificent panoramic view of the Fleims Valley. From the Kugeljoch, you will continue to the Schwarzhorn (2,439 meters above sea-level). Finally, you follow the descending path to the Jochgrimm, the goal of this tour. This hike offers a wealth of unique natural beauty and is – in spite of the level of difficulty – an absolute "must" for ambitious hikers.
