The Alpine Arena Schnals is picturesquely situated at the head of the small South Tyrolean Schnals Valley and is surrounded by the mighty peaks of the Ötztal Alps. Here, only 40 minutes by car from Merano, summer promises pure mountain adventure. The high alpine landscape affords breathtaking views over vast larch forests, glittering lakes, grey scree slopes and lush alpine meadows. From the beginning of July, you can experience peace and solitude on various hiking trails as well as action on via ferratas or huts in the Alpine Arena Schnals.

In this Collection, we present three Tours, all of which start in Kurzras. The loop to Lazaun takes you on easy paths to wonderful high pastures and the cosy Lazaun hut. A special highlight for young and old is the descent from the hut with the so-called ‘mountain carts’, with which you whizz down the gravel paths into the valley. In the video below, you can get an impression of the fun descent. The Schöne Aussicht refuge on Hochjochferner is the destination of the second hike, which requires more stamina. The varied passages of the via ferrata Larix, which is also suitable for beginners, promise a real adventure.

You can reach the starting point at Kurzras via the well-built road that connects the Schnals Valley with the Vinschgau Road. Alternatively, you can take bus 261 from Naturno or Merano railway station. In Kurzras, you’ll find accommodation and refreshment facilities. The Alpine Arena Schnals opens on July 1. In this magical landscape, an unforgettable experience is guaranteed.
