Strenuous

Starting point: Kastelruth, lower village square Elevation difference: 852m, 72m Length: 8 km Duration: 3.5 hours Trail marking: 6-11-4 Difficulty level: moderate

At the lower village square, at the large intersection, we follow the (marking 6) to the Wegmacherhof and continue on the nature trail, always following the 6, up to Schererplatzel. Here we turn onto the asphalt road again, which initially runs almost flat in a southerly direction, crossing the Seiser-Alm-Strasse and always keeping the Schlern and the town of Seis in view, over the southwest-facing slopes of St. Valentin down to Villa Ibsen (1095 m). Here we turn left onto trail 11. It runs almost continuously through forested areas, rising up to the St. Valentin information point, where it joins the Seiser-Alm-Strasse. We follow this road briefly uphill and turn right at the first left-hand turn onto the Kreuzweg (marking 4). From here, our hike leads us partly away from the road through wooded areas, partly along the road, below the Gstatsch inn, following a shortcut for a short distance over pastureland, past the aforementioned inn, up to the Frommer inn. At the parking lot of the Spitzbühl chairlift, we finally leave the road and enter open terrain. The path now leads us continuously over pastureland and brings us up to the Compatsch - Seiser Alm district (1843 m) in about 30 minutes.
