Running trails in Vinschgau/Val Venosta

A route that has it all: a steep climb, flowing trails with some peaks, great downhills, and always a breathtaking view of Lake Reschen and the Ortler Group! From the Reschen Alm, it's first up to the Outer Nockenkopf. Then you follow the partly unmarked but easy and logical mountain ridge up to Piz Lad. This section definitely gets the trail running heart pumping. Fun trails and a unique view now lead back to the starting point at the Reschen Alm.

A classic among the trails in Prad. This track offers some technical sections and a wonderful view of the town and the upper Venosta valley.

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.

This sporting excursion leads us back into the Medieval Ages and into the past times of the Venosta Valley.

The round of the Reschensee is a special experience for hikers and runners. The wonderful views of the Ortler is unique. The tower in the lake completes the picture. He is the last witness of the sunken village of Graun which can live the story.

This exciting tour leads to spectacular and high alpine trails on the left and right side of the legendary Stelvio Pass Road to the homonymous pass peak.

Beautiful scenic running track at the south of Morter with a great variation over the castle ruins of Montani.

A long, challenging run that impresses with a fantastic natural experience and a magnificent view of Lake Reschen and the Ortler Group. The starting point is at the Mutzkopf lift valley station, and the run first leads to the Großmutzkopf and then to the Dreiländer Border Stone, where Austria, Italy, and Switzerland meet. The trail continues along the ridge to Rescher Alm, where you can refuel for the first time. Via flowy trails, you reach Schöneben, where more than half of the run is already completed. Over the gorgeous last part of the ridge trail, with constant views of Lake Reschen, the Ortler Group, and the Weißkugel, you finally reach Haideralm. From there, it's all downhill to St. Valentin.

In the shadow of the Weißkugel, you head to the Weißkugel Hut and return to Melag via a small section of the Langtauferer High Trail. The first part is rather flat and perfect for warming up. From the Melager Alm, it gradually becomes steeper, and you follow the glacier educational trail towards the Weißkugel Hut – always with the best view of the glaciers of the Weißkugel group. Once you have reached the Weißkugel Hut, you follow the narrow high trail (some surefootedness required) downstream, with no more altitude meters to overcome. Soon you reach the stream coming from the Weißseejoch and first follow a trail, then a forest road back to the small mountain village of Melag.

Technically easy and enjoyable itinerary between the mountain huts Stiflser and Prader Alm with breathtaking views of the Ortles Alps glaciers.

A challenging 10 km run. The best way to tackle your own best mark or to just get to know the area between Prad and Glurns.

A short but promising warm-up loop around the climatic health resort of Sulden am Ortler.

A very long and challenging, but also very rewarding trail run high above the Langtauferer Valley. From Graun, the trail climbs steeply over the Rossböden Alm up to 2,700 m, where the high-altitude trail then leads partly inward. The path winds its way along the mountain ridge in a constant up and down. The views of the surrounding glaciers, especially the Ortler Group, are breathtaking! After about 20 km, there is the option to run to Melag if a storm is approaching or if you are already very tired. However, if the weather is good and you have enough energy reserves, you should definitely continue to the Weißkugelhütte, where you can replenish your energy stores before tackling the downhill.
Be sure to pay attention to having enough provisions; there are many streams to refill water, but no managed hut until the Weißkugelhütte.

A scenic and beautiful running route in Morter which leaves nothing to be desired. Flat passages changes with moderate increases, to sensational sleep tracks along the "Neuwaal" and the "Rautwaal".

A top-class trail run! After a longer ascent, the high-altitude trail runs permanently along the forest border to Italy and Lake Reschen. From the starting point Parditsch in Nauders, you follow the trail to the inn of the same name and continue to the Labaunalm. Now you branch off to the south and follow the trail to the Labauner Köpfl. The long ascent is now overcome, and you can really enjoy the trails with a great view of Lake Reschen and the surrounding mountains. At the Piengalm, after about 14 km, you can stock up on food and drinks before the high-altitude trail climbs slightly again towards Bergkastel. Now you have almost completed all the altitude meters and continue across the border to Italy to the Plamort rock. The downhill is rewarded with a fantastic view of Lake Reschen. Soon the forest road is reached, along which you run the last kilometer to Reschen.

A popular running route starts from the northwestern edge of Reschen village towards the Rescher Alm. Always follow the signs for Rescher Alm and marker number 3 along the bike path, past the Mühlanderhof, across the meadows, and later on the forest path past Tendershof. After several switchbacks on trail number 3B, you reach the Rescher Alm, which is managed year-round and offers a unique view of the lake and surrounding villages. The return is via trail number 7, past Vallierteck.

A great challenging round over several peaks, but requiring some surefootedness and good weather. From Graun, you first follow the Panorama Trail (R6), turn off after about 3 km, cross the main road, and follow the trail up to the Joggl (Endkopf). Now you continuously follow the ridge over several peaks, up to the 2,909 m high Mittereggspitze, which offers a magnificent view of the Ortler. The route continues along the ridge, mostly downhill and over a last ascent to the summit of the Großhorn. Now you follow the path down the north side, past the Grauner Alm, and back to Graun to the starting point.

A very beautiful, alpine trail running loop with a magnificent view of Lake Reschen and the Ortler Group. The tour is signposted from Haideralm via the Elferspitze to the Schöneben cable car and, due to the moderate distances, is suitable for beginners as well. The ascent to the Elferspitze can be managed with some surefootedness. The route leads across simple block terrain over the Zwölferkopf down to the Schöneben hut. Afterwards, you can take the Schöneben cable car and bus back to the Haideralm valley station. If you want to extend the tour a bit, you can run the dreamy high-altitude trail from the Schöneben mountain station to the Haideralm mountain station. Of course, the tour can also be started from Schöneben

The running trail from Melag to the Melager Alm in Langtaufers is a scenic route for running enthusiasts. The run starts at the parking lot in the hamlet of Melag. From the parking lot, you run into the valley and turn right between the houses. Signs 2 and 5 mark the path, which is also clearly visible without markings. With a gentle incline, you jog to the Karlinbach, cross the bridge, and continue on a flat path to the alm. At the valley's end, there are impressive views of the snow-capped peaks surrounding the Weißkugel, with numerous three-thousanders flanking the valley to the north and south. The return is via the same route.
As an alternative for runners, starting from the hamlet of Kappl at the former valley station of the Maseben lift is recommended, where you can follow the forest road to the Melager Alm
