A More Diverse Summer Offering

Summer 2026 will bring several new features to the Paznaun region across the four towns of Ischgl, Galtür, Kappl, and See. The focus will be on new bike trails, high-alpine connections, additional bike-and-hike routes, and new climbing opportunities. At the same time, family offerings will be expanded. The region aims to better appeal to active guests, summit seekers, and active families. Mountain railways facilitate access to high-altitude starting points and make longer tours more accessible.

Biking: new trails and alpine connections

In Ischgl, the Höllkar Trail is creating a new downhill route in high-alpine terrain. The route starts at the top station of the Flimjochbahn and rides for six kilometers to the middle station of the Silvrettabahn. It covers 1,189 meters of elevation gain on the descent. The trail combines North Shore elements, wide turns, and technical sections.

Another new addition is the Sur Tuot / Davo Dieu connection between Ischgl and Scuol. It runs over 28 kilometers through terrain between 2,200 and 2,800 meters above sea level, crosses four passes, and features 1,869 meters of descent. The route is designed for physically fit and technically skilled bikers.

In addition, the bike-and-hike offerings are being expanded. The tour to the Bürkelkopf combines an ascent by e-bike with a summit climb to 3,033 meters. The routes to Berglisee and Madleinsee also combine cycling with alpine hiking.

In Galtür, the offerings at the Alpkogel are being expanded. The Kli Zeinis Trail is a blue-level route designed for beginners. The Birkhahn Trail, with its tight switchbacks and challenging lines, is aimed at advanced riders.

Kappl is getting a new e-mountain bike route from the village to the Spiduralpe at 2,115 meters. It measures 18 kilometers round trip. The Kappl See Panorama E-Bike Tour connects both locations over 38 kilometers and utilizes mountain rail support. The focus is on 3,259 meters of downhill elevation.
