Description

This trail run on the Pizol is suitable for people who are running in alpine terrain for the first time or for the first time ever. The starting point on the ford can be reached quickly by cable car from Wangs, and the route doesn't demand too much in terms of fitness or technique. Nevertheless, in a short time you have everything you need for a varied run in the Alps: The route leads over a mountain stream, past the Alp Mugg and across alpine meadows.

Hidden Gem

Trail running workshops are held on various dates on the Pizol. Accompanied by certified running guides and professional athletes.

Safety Note

The surface can be slippery depending on the weather.

Equipment

Normal trail running equipment (trail shoes recommended). Take enough food and drink with you (self-catering principle). Maps and cell phone with good reception.

Directions

At the valley station in Wangs, we take the gondola lift, which takes us to our starting point in Furt. From here we walk in the direction of Wasserwald. We follow this well-maintained hiking trail to post no. 7 on the MounTeens Detective Trail. At the fork in the path, we take the left fork and follow a newly created mountain trail. This trail leads us over hill and dale back to the alpine meadows above Furt. We will cover an altitude difference of just over 100 meters. As soon as we reach the forest path, we follow it downhill towards Furt. From Furt, the gondola lift takes us back to Wangs and we can enjoy the magnificent view towards the Rhine Valley.
