Hiking in the Vinschgau Walking Tour 8-days Level 2
In the Val Venosta Valley-region South Tyrol probably presents itself from its most beautiful angle: picturesque Waalwege-paths across blooming apple plantations, a unique culture in the mountain villages and quaint alp huts offering traditional cuisine on your rest from hiking. Discover the magical alleyways of the Medieval village of Malles, before you dive even deeper into the mountain world of the Val Venosta Valley, always accompanied by stunning long-distance views and the lush green valley below you. Past historic ruins and the world-famous Churburg castle, you ascend high up into the national park ‚Stilfserjoch‘, in the evening you relax by strolling through characteristic villages such as Sluderno and BurgusioBurgusio.
You always walk on well-maintained hiking paths, along the typical Waalwege-paths and in parts also on forest roads. For the in parts longer ascents and walking times of up to 5 hours a good basic fitness level is recommended. The 'Königsetappe'-stage on Day 4 can be cut short if needed, for nearly all longer tours there are always options available to cut the route short by bus/train

The descent leads you down to Schlinig, from there, a short bus ride takes you to Burgeis. For a shorter tour to Burgeis we recommend the so-called 'Stundenweg‘ via the hamlet Schleis.

Extensively explore the adventure path Watles before gliding leisurely by cable car back down into the valley.
Burgusio – St. Valentino 4 to 4.5hrs 12km | +350m -600m
From Prämajur through shady forests all the way to the Brugger-alps where we highly recommend you sample traditional Vinschgau delicacies.

St. Valentino – Malles 4hrs 10km | +450m -350m
Across the largest alluvial fan of the Alps, the 'Malser Haide‘, you proceed across blooming meadows and past sleepy farm houses uphill into the little mountain village of Planeil.
