R3: Langtauferer Höhenweg

A very long and challenging, but also very rewarding trail run high above the Langtauferer valley.

From Graun, the trail climbs steeply over the Rossböden Alm up to 2700 metres, where the high-altitude trail then leads partly inwards. The trail winds along the ridge in a constant up and down. The views of the surrounding glaciers, especially the Ortler group, are breathtaking! After just under 20 kilometres, you have the option of walking to Melag if there is a storm or you are already very tired. However, if the weather is good and you have enough energy reserves, you should definitely walk as far as the Weißkugelhütte, where you can top up your energy reserves before tackling the downhill. Make sure you have enough food and drink, as there are plenty of streams to refuel but no catered huts until you reach the Weißkugelhütte. POI=Point of Interest
