All in all, a leisurely circuit which is not too demanding.

Then walk through the districts of Höferau, Sinsner Au to finally reach the hamlet of Nederle after Hotel Höllroah. Getting back to Kappl village is easy by bus. Those who want can also hike back the same way.

but in turn provides breath-taking views of lower Paznaun valley. It starts off at Kappl village square. Below the church, hike in direction of Hotel Dorfstadl to the Diasbahn turn-off. A meadow path leads to the left down to the Diasbahn lower terminus. Here you cross the road across Kohlplatz bridge, from where the forest path to Rotweg chapel begins. Somewhat steep to begin with, the hike leads through snowy winter scenery until getting to the small chapel, from where you have nice views of the village and various hamlets. When a thick blanket of snow has fallen onto the roof of Rotweg chapel and the sun makes the snow sparkle, that's when winter is showing its best side.

Pass the districts of Holdernach, Sesselebene and Schnatzerau, until finally getting to the finish at the See cable car.

From here, a path to the left (above the Sunny Mountain Restaurants) leads all the way to where the children’s practice area is. Here, follow the groomed path below the new pump station along the dam of the “new reservoir” until after about a ½-hour walk you’ll get to the and of the path (way back along the same route). All in all, a peaceful and leisurely tour for those who like to take things a little slower. Those who like can put in a short walk along the border of the lake of the upper reservoir first. This short detour from the hike proper is well worth the effort, as benches provide a chance to put in a well-deserved break.

The first section leads downhill along the piste, before getting onto the toboggan run. Through the snow-covered forest you'll get to the lower terminus of the Gongall twin-seater chairlift after a while. From here, take the forest path towards Oberhaus and hike along the municipal road through the hamlets of Stadlen, Hof, Obermühl, Grubegg and Larchi all the way down to the village.

With 5 km of level routing, it is not overly demanding yet leaves you with the feeling of actually having done something. The hiking trail starts right by the Silvretta parking lot and is marked with a sign (entry point to cross-country skiing trail). In the beginning, a short walk leads directly along the cross-country skiing trail before the route branches off onto a separate trail in the hamlet of Paznaun. The trail continues across level terrain for 2.5 km in direction of Mathon. Having arrived at the recycling yard, the following options are available: either take the same trail back (total length of hike 5 km) or take the bus back to Ischgl or continue hiking towards Galtür, where you can get on the Mathon winter hiking trail.

The route immediately starts off with a short climb, but then levels out again and continues on the gallery and then close to the forest to Mathon. When exiting the village, cross the Valzur stream and walk to the wildlife park located below. Here you can stop off at the inn or take a bus for the return trip. Alternatively, hike along the now opposite side of Trisanna stream back to Ischgl. The route proceeds almost exclusively level along the banks back to the starting point. Of course, the route can also be hiked in the opposite direction.

The route proceeds upwards, in lots of switchbacks, but is never too steep - you cover some 500 meters to reach your destination. A fantastic viewing point beneath Friedrichshafener Hut (closed in the winter), with views to the impressive mountains in the Silvretta and Samnaun groups. Return via the same route.

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). From up there, the double-deck aerial tramway (L1 or L2) goes back to Samnaun, where numerous shops are waiting to be explored. Please note: Begin return trip in Samnaun no later than 14:30, to make sure you can get back to Ischgl by lift all the way.
