    The winter hiking trail between Galtür and Wirl requires medium strong fitness with its 4 km and gentle climbs. Start off at the Galtür football.

Above the road, hike through the woodland until walking down to the wildlife park along Valzurbach stream. After a short climb, continue along level terrain through the forest until getting to the romantically located forest chapel, and then the hamlet of Tschaffein, before arriving back in Galtür again. The entire circuit of a total of 9 km (from and back to Galtür) does require some fitness - but any effort is soon forgotten when taking in the views of the mighty Ballunspitze (2,671 m) rising up from Galtür. Those who think this is too far can shorten the circuit by hiking only to the wildlife park and taking a bus back to Galtür from there.

    After a short journey on the Alpkogelbahn you reach the starting point of the Silvapark winter hiking trail.

    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 area around the Zeinis & Kops reservoirs is surely one of the most idyllic spots in Paznaun.

    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.

    If you want to combine a cross-border hiking trip with shopping, the Smugglers' Tour to duty-free Samnaun is just the thing for you.

    This tour can be adapted to your fitness level. You can decide by yourself whether you want to do the entire route by cable car and chairlift, or put in some sections of hiking. An experience of the special kind. From Ischgl village centre, either take the Fimba (A3) - or Silvretta cable car (A1) up to the Idalp at 2,300 m. Then take the Flimjoch chairlift (B2) to the Viderjoch hiking area at 2,700 m, which forms the border between Austria and Switzerland. Next take the Flimsattel chairlift (N1) to get to the Alp Trida Restaurant on Swiss soil. After a few metres on foot you'll reach the lower terminus of the chairlift "Alp Trider Sattelbahn" (N6).
