Hike from Lana: the hike starts in Lana close to the valley station of the Vigiljoch Cable Car. The first part of the hike is identical to the Aichberg culture and nature trail. Entering Raffeinweg, we follow the narrow asphalt road through orchards and vineyards uphill, but then pass by the entrance to the Waalweg irrigation channel path and follow the signs to the Haidenhof and Hoferhof farms.

Hike from Tscherms: equally, it is also possible to start in Cermes at the village hall/village square. To do this head in the direction of Merano and then after 160 meters turn onto Baslingerstrasse and then follow the signs for trail 33A (Lebenbergeralm mountain pasture, no refreshments available), which leads us through orchards and vineyards, crossing Lebenbergstrasse several times, to the Waalweg. We then follow this for 600 m in a southerly direction, pass the Eggbauer and Leitenschenke cafés and continue to the Haidenhof...

..... We then leave the wide road and go tightly uphill on track no. 33A through chestnut trees and shrubland to the Hoferhof café (refreshments available here). Shortly afterwards we leave trail no. 33A and take the track signposted as Ochsentod up to the Vigiljoch.

Above Tarres you find the hike- & bikeparadise Tarres Alp. Hiker, extreme hiker or mountain biker are there in good hands. On the Laces Alp, Tarres Alp and the Mountain Restaurant Tarres Alp are served local specialities.

The Speikboden is more than just a favorite ski area. It is also an ideal hiking area. The mountain got its name from a little flower that grows in the high mountains – Alpine valerian, or “Speik” in German – and that is in fact because this lovely flower is often found in the hiking area.

With the cable cars you can reach the "Speikboden Alm" at 2000 metres of altitude or the Sonnklar mountain at 2400 metres above sea level. Both are starting points for fantastic walks and hikes along well maintained trails. Particularly popular are the sunrise walks - to spot the first sunrays while the valley still lies in darkness is a memorable experience.

A promising hike at the idyllic hamlet of Plazzoles/Platzers

Without a doubt, the Partschinser waterfall is among the loveliest in the alpine region. It is situated in the Zieltal valley, north west of Partschins/Parcines and with a drop height of around 97 meters, plunges from 1,110 meters to 1,015 meters above sea level. The Zieltal valley and its tributary valleys and various three thousand meter-plus mountains stretch out over several kilometers to the north. To the south, the Zielbach stream flows through Salten, then past Partschins/Parcines, finally joining the river Etsch/Adige between Rabland/Rablà and Töll/Tel. The waterfall is at its most powerful during the thaw from May to June, or after heavy rainfall. At these times, up to 10,000 liters of water per second find their way down into the valley.
