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.

Author’s recommendation

Logistics tip: since start and finish are in different countries, it is best to park your car directly in Reschen (finish). In the morning, take bus line 273 to Nauders in a relaxed way. This way, after the long trail run, you can get straight back to your car by the lake without worrying about timetables.
