Description

Added by Kyle Frost

Starting from central St Anton, head west and follow signs for the Rossanaweg. The gravel path will pass under two tunnels, and then continues up the river. Follow signs for Verwallsee. The path climbs at a reasonable grade up the valley, alternating between singletrack trail and gravel paths. Eventually, you'll reach the beautiful Verwallsee. You can retrace your steps from here or complete a circuit of the lake, looping back to the Wagnerhutte (always a nice spot to stop for lunch or some refreshments). Return the way you came.

From here, you can stroll down to St Christoph for refreshments (and to catch the bu...

Kaltenberghutte to Konstanzerhutte Loop

I did this loop as a wonderful trail run, although it would also be possible to hike it in a long day, or split it up with a stay at Kaltenberghutte or Konstanzerhutte (book ahead). Starting at St Cristoph (a short bus from the center of St Anton), the trail climbs sharply before leveling out and traversing around the mountainside. Another steeper section will bring you to the stunning Kaltenb...
