On old, lonely smugglers' paths to the border
Beautiful panoramic hike on a relatively little-used hiking trail to the Austrian border. The upper part of the trail is only suitable for sure-footed mountain hikers with a head for heights. The moderately difficult hike is rewarded with a beautiful panoramic view.

Unique view of the Ötztal and down into the Passeier Valley. In good weather you can see all the way to the Dolomites.
