    Glacier panoramic trail run high above the Langtauferer Valley in the beatiful Vinschgau.

    Author’s recommendation

    Running direction & water filter: as the trail is very long and the first proper place to stop is Weißkugelhütte, you should definitely bring a lightweight filter or suitable purification tablets. There are plenty of streams for refilling, but your energy reserves need to be self-sufficient until the hut!

    Roadbook

    Start: Graun im Vinschgau.

    Ascent: steep and demanding climb via Rossböden Alm up to around 2,700 m altitude.

    High-altitude trail: along a rolling singletrack with continuous ups and downs, following the mountain ridge into the valley, always with views of the glaciers of the Ortler Group.

    Melag option (km 20): in case of bad weather or fatigue, an early descent to Melag is possible.

    Final section & descent: under good conditions continue to Weißkugelhütte (stop), followed by the final downhill back into the valley and return to the starting point.

    Public transport

    Take the Vinschgau Railway to the final station in Mals. From there, continue with bus line 273 (Mals–Reschen) to the Graun i. V. Dorf stop. For the return from the valley (if finishing in Melag), bus line 277 runs from Melag back to Graun.

    Directions

    Drive along the Reschen Pass road (SS40), either from Merano/Schlanders or from Landeck/Reschen Pass, to Graun im Vinschgau on Lake Resia.

    Parking

    Large paid parking area directly on the lakeshore in Graun (near the historic church tower) or parking options in the village area.
