Open Ski Lifts and Trails in See

Galtür’s motto is “Experience alpine wintersports!” The Galtür Wirl Trail, at 6,5 km and minor elevation requires only medium stamina and coordination and is also suited for intermediate skiers.

With the Alpkogelbahn cable car you can reach the mountain base easily – then you arrive at the Silvapark cross-country skiing track after only 5 minutes walk. The track has approximately 1,0 km in length and is perfectly suited for training runs.

At the border between Tyrol and Vorarlberg, a magnificent view of giant peaks of the Silvretta massif awaits you.

With 5 km and a very flat trail profile, it is not overtly challenging, yet still rewards you with a feeling of accomplishment.

You’ll experience Paznaun in its most pristine form.

At a length of 5 km with over 130 m difference of altitude you can go to your limits.

The short Tschaffein trail with only 3,3 km length is perfect for your first tries on the trail and is not too demanding with an altitude difference of 50 metres.

In the beginning, the route runs slightly downhill and then slightly uphill, but afterwards it is always nice and flat along the dam of the Silvretta reservoir.

After about 1 km, you'll pass the Silvrettahaus and finally end up at the Piz Buin inn.

After about 2 km, you'll pass the Silvrettahaus and finally end up at the Piz Buin inn.

After about 1 km, you'll pass the Silvrettahaus and finally end up at the Piz Buin inn.

The breath-taking scenery and the mountains covered in deep snow in this unspoilt lateral valley are what make this route so special.

This cross-country route is challenging, yet the dreamy panoramic mountain views will help you forget almost all of those efforts, since on the sun-blessed Bielerhöhe, with the impressive Silvretta reservoir, enjoyment comes easy.

Enjoy the peacefulness of nature on a walk along the winter hiking trail from See to Kappl. The trail starts at the Kappl cable car and crosses a bridge at Hotel Mallaun, then heading out of the valley for a short bit before the forest path begins heading into the valley towards Kappl. The route leads past the hamlets of Schnatzerau, Habigen, Sesselebene and Holdernach, through forest and meadow paths alternating with sealed sections. Before getting to Kappl, you'll also hike through Platti, Untermühl and Schmiedsegg. The route is very varied and you'll get to see the individual – in part very original hamlets – along the way. If you want to hike just one section, you can get back from Kappl to See easily with the bus.

Linger for a while in one of the loungers to take in a view which will take your breath away. Follow the signposted trail into the valley. The hike passes the Faulbrunnalm and Fluchthornalm mountain restaurants. Enjoy the wonderful sunshine on the terraces at the mountain restaurants and indulge in some delicious Tyrolean food. After a lovely hike through the SILVAPARK ski area you reach the hamlet of Oberwirl. From here you still have the opportunity to take the winter hiking trail which proceeds to Galtür. 

Note: Walks on the hiking trail are carried out at your risk. Skiers/snowboarders use the entire area, so watch out for them, particularly when crossing the pistes.

The trail leads across flat terrain along the Vermunt stream and into the valley, until you get to Wirl district and the lower terminus of the Birkhahnbahn cable car. Experience the snow-covered scenery in Galtür, the highest located township in Paznaun, at just below 1,600 m and sheltered by the soaring mountains of the Silvretta Group. Numerous 3,000-metre peaks are within touching distance here and the scenery is shaped by the prominent peaks. Galtür means "Experiencing high alpine winter sports!" This tour is especially recommendable on Wednesday evenings when the lights of the night-time skiing light up the Silvapark.

By the border between Tirol & Vorarlberg, impressive views of the sheltering giants of the Silvretta group await. The route starts in Wirl district opposite the St. Antonius chapel – just before Hotel Wirlerhof. Past the alpine farm, a steady climb on the old Zeinisstraße leads towards Zeinis or Kops. The last bit before the two lakes is level again. First you'll get to the smaller Zeinis reservoir, then Kops reservoir. An impressive backdrop for all winter sports fans opens up here! Please note that no rest stops with food or drink are available up here. A total of 11.5 km is to be negotiated on this route. No short-cut by bus is possible.

After the Silvretta parking lot, cross a small bridge and follow the signs for "Winterwanderweg Ebene". Shortly after, cross the rushing Madlein stream and the districts of Versahl, Vergröß, Platt and finally Ebene follow. On this path, slightly above the Trisanna, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the lifestyle metropolis and enjoy the snow-covered scenery. In the hamlet of Ebene, there is a bus stop allowing you an easy return trip back to Ischgl. Those who still have some energy can hike back along the same route.

From up here you have wonderful views across all of Ischgl and can observe the lively goings-on at a distance. The wide path winds uphill for 2.5 km, rewarding those getting to the top with great views. From the Silvretta cable car, walk past the parking lot and after crossing the bridge follow the signs for Mutta. On the way back, the route can be extended a bit and some sunshine caught by not walking back in direction of the parking lot again after Jungmann Inn, but taking the turn-off before and hiking to the hamlet of Paznaun. A few benches beckon to put in a rest, offering fine views of Ischgl town centre. From the hamlet of Paznaun, it's back to the village again.

Enjoy the peacefulness of nature on a walk along the winter hiking trail from Kappl to See. The trail starts at Kappl church and initially leads along the municipal road through the hamlets of Schmiedsegg, Untermühl and Platti. Continue heading out of the valley, repeatedly alternating between forest roads and sealed sections after the Holdernach turn-off. Pass the districts of Holdernach, Sesselebene and Schnatzerau, until finally getting to the finish at the See cable car. The route is very varied and you'll get to see the individual – in part very original - hamlets along the way. If you want to hike just one section, you can get back from See to Kappl easily.

Hover up to 1,830 meters on the Diasbahn lift, where the trail starts. Through the tunnel (above the upper terminus) you’ll get to the Sunny Mountain Restaurant. From here, a path to the left (above the Sunny Mountain Restaurants) leads all the way to where the children’s practice area is. Here, follow the groomed path below the new pump station along the dam of the “new reservoir” until after about a ½-hour walk you’ll get to the and of the path (way back along the same route). All in all, a peaceful and leisurely tour for those who like to take things a little slower. Those who like can put in a short walk along the border of the lake of the upper reservoir first. This short detour from the hike proper is well worth the effort, as benches provide a chance to put in a well-deserved break.

The first section leads downhill along the piste, before getting onto the toboggan run. Through the snow-covered forest you'll get to the lower terminus of the Gongall twin-seater chairlift after a while. From here, take the forest path towards Oberhaus and hike along the municipal road through the hamlets of Stadlen, Hof, Obermühl, Grubegg and Larchi all the way down to the village. Of course, this route can also be hiked in the opposite direction.
