Alpine Elation
Aiming high and even higher
Cool, cooler via ferrata
A highly demanding rock face. You are standing in its foothills and think: I will never get up there. But then it works. There are three via ferratas in Gurgl that make things easier. One starts in the Stone Pine Forest, featuring also a fine climbing garden. Even the access on the narrow rope bridge is an unrivaled experience. The Schwärzenkamm via ferrata is tougher and more difficult, leading right into the glacier world. Really cool. And there is the brand-new Hohe Mut via ferrata from summer 2021 onwards.
Trailrunning
Something for the really tough ones who avoid breaks and are fond of pain. Trail runners on high Alpine paths. Routes that normal hikers complete over several days can be done in just a few hours. The routes in the surroundings of Gurgl are simply ideal, as the annual Glacier Trail Run held in July proves.
Uphill, down dale, biking
The bicycle is a great invention. You can pedal and move forward at your own pace. Well, it's not that easy in Gurgl if you don't have an e-bike but a road bicycle. The unrivaled highlight is a tough tour up to Timmelsjoch Pass. Once at the top, the only question is: returning to Gurgl again or cycling down into Passeiertal valley? Don't forget: the way back is a torture. Maybe next time you can go on a mountain bike tour? Or even better, by e-bike ...
