This cross-country route is challenging, yet the dreamy panoramic mountain views will help you forget almost all of those efforts, since on the sun-blessed Bielerhöhe, with the impressive Silvretta reservoir, enjoyment comes easy.
The hike starts in the hamlet of Lochau, where the new secondary school is located.
This winter hiking trail leads through snowy forest, across romantic clearings, past a wildlife feeding station to the shooting club. Here the peacefulness can be optimally enjoyed while relaxing at ease. About 500 metres after the shooting club, switch to the other side of the road. Then keep left and after some 100 metres take the route in direction of Platti. On the sealed road, continue via Untermühl back to Kappl village centre. All in all, a leisurely circuit which is not too demanding.

The winter hiking trail from Kappl village to the Rotweg chapel may be somewhat more challenging due to its climbs,
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.

Nowhere else can the beauty of winter be better enjoyed than on a walk through the snow.
Enjoy the peacefulness of nature on a walk along the winter hiking trail from Kappl to See. The trail starts at Kappl church and initially leads along the municipal road through the hamlets of Schmiedsegg, Untermühl and Platti. Continue heading out of the valley, repeatedly alternating between forest roads and sealed sections after the Holdernach turn-off. Pass the districts of Holdernach, Sesselebene and Schnatzerau, until finally getting to the finish at the See cable car. The route is very varied and you'll get to see the individual – in part very original - hamlets along the way. If you want to hike just one section, you can get back from See to Kappl easily.

A leisurely trail, also suitable for families or those who prefer shorter jaunts, is the Sunny Mountain winter hiking trail in the Kappl ski area.
Hover up to 1,830 meters on the Diasbahn lift, where the trail starts. Through the tunnel (above the upper terminus) you’ll get to the Sunny Mountain Restaurant. 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 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.

Galtür – Tschaffein – Waldkapelle
open: 9 km

The hike starts at the football pitch in Galtür, first walking along the Trisanna stream over level terrain to the hamlet of Tschaffein.
From there, take the footway to the "Rifugio" holiday homes and then a short bit along the A-road, before continuing left back onto the steamrolled winter hiking trail. 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.
