October 8, 2022,Von Vals zur Fane Alm

Beautiful tour. The path initially runs flat through the valley and then becomes quite short as an ascent, but also very crisp. At the top of the Alm there are several rest stops as a "reward".
I don't have the way back with me, it takes about 1.5 hours to get to Vals.

July 2, 2023,🇮🇹 zur Mittelalter-Alm - Fane Alm

Today's hike goes back to the Middle Ages. First we drive to Vals and walk along the road and the stream for a while. We will cross this soon and the path will be like hiking trails. We walk along the Milchsteig, which tells of milk production and the associated agriculture on the alpine pastures. A backbreaking job! The stream …

Let your mind wander today and enjoy the landscape for a bit. The little tour then came to an end on the alpine pasture... that would be nice 🤩

A beautiful half-day tour that still leaves time to relax on the beautiful campsite 😌

We walk along the wild, romantic mountain stream on the Milchsteig, sometimes quite steeply uphill. There are always interesting information boards about the dairy farmers in South Tyrol ☝️🐄🤩

Hiking in a great landscape to a beautifully located, small "village".
We hiked on September 16th, recording with Komoot didn't work consistently, there were probably problems with the GPS signal at one point or another.

Tour before winter season. From 6.12. a hut is open and if it snows this would be a great tour with children and sleds. From the car park up to the hut for a snack and then back with the sledge in the afternoon.

February 26, 2022,Wanderung Vals ab der Talstation Jochtal

In very sunny, but sometimes very windy weather, we went from the Jochtal car park in the direction of the Kurzkotelhütte and actually the Zingerle Hütte. The hiking trails were very icy but beautiful. Unfortunately I had to cancel the tour due to time constraints.
