Details

Description

This trail run at Pizol is suitable for people who are running in alpine terrain for the first time ever or for the first time. The starting point at Furt is quickly reached by gondola from Wangs; the route does not require significant fitness or technical skills. Nevertheless, in a short time, you get everything needed for a varied run in the Alps: the route leads along a mountain stream, past Alp Mugg, and over alpine meadows.

Hidden Gem

At Pizol, trail running workshops are held on various dates. They are accompanied by certified running guides and professional athletes.

Safety Note

The ground can be slippery depending on the weather.

Equipment

Normal trail running equipment (trail running shoes recommended). Bring enough provisions and drinks (self-catering principle). Maps and a mobile phone with good reception.

Directions

At the valley station in Wangs, we take the gondola that brings us to our starting point at Furt. From here, we walk towards Wasserwald. We follow this well-developed hiking trail to post number 7 of the MounTeens Detective Trail. At the fork, we take the left branch and embark on a newly created mountain path. Over roots and rocks, this trail leads us back to the alpine meadows above Furt. We will cover a height difference of just over 100 meters. As soon as we reach the forest path, we follow it downhill towards Furt. From Furt, the gondola takes us back to Wangs where we can enjoy the magnificent view towards the Rhine Valley.
