Bell Tower of Curon in Lake Resia

Highlight • Monument

The church tower of the village of Alt-Graun, which sunk when the lake was dammed, is an impressive photo motif at any time of the year.

Via Claudia Augusta

Tip by

The Stieralm offers a great opportunity to take a break on the way to the Plamort or Bunker Trail and lets you recharge your batteries if you want to jet down the Bergkastel Trail.

The hut is operated by Nauderer Bergbahnen AG. You can find information about opening hours on the website of the TVB. Unfortunately, it is not possible to stay overnight unless you bring your sleeping bag and spend the night on the terrace under the starry sky. ;)

Plamort Trail – Upper Section

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This flowing S1 trail leads from the Stieralm pasture past numerous North Shore wooden elements through the forest down to the idyllic Plamort high moor plateau. It's a lot of fun!

Plamort Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Plamort Trail is a true classic. Far above it leads over the picturesque and eponymous high plateau Plamort past the famous tank barriers. The Plamort Trail leads across the Austrian-Italian border and ends at the historic bunker facility. He is one of the easier runs (S1). If you take the Bergkastel cable car from the valley, you will save yourself the tedious altitude of the ascent.

Trail recordings and more details can be found in this video:

Viewpoint with World War II bunker

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are still so many old bunker systems from World War I and World War II in this region. Whereby this comes from the 2nd. Some are really well hidden.

From Nauders over the forest path almost to the mountain station of the Bergkastellbahn, before turning off in the direction of Plamort - over the (very easy) trail to the Plamort plateau with the anti-tank barriers. Continue to the lookout rock with a great view over Lake Reschen 😎.
Then down to Reschen - with a detour to the source …

A nice introductory loop. The first few kilometers are all uphill (strenuous), but once you get to the top, and of course the route there, it's fantastic! The first part of the descent is peppered with easy jumps (small kicks), after which it continues at a very flowing pace. You can extend the route to any difficulty level; we opted …

We were so lucky with the weather 😎☀️. Unfortunately it was already quite cold and the snow line was very low for the time of year. Many thanks to BH-Bikes and Moustache-Bikes, who provided enough eBikes.
