Up the Upper Vinschgau, through the communities of Burgeis and St. Valentin, you reach the Italian-Austrian border high above Lake Reschen. On attractive single trails and past mountain lakes you reach Nauders and Martina.
Sliding passages
At Nauders, above the Grünsee lake, the trail contains steps. The bike has to be carried here.
Author’s recommendation
Discover the last village of the Engadine, Martina. On the last kilometres before the national border, nature is particularly fertile, green, species-rich and intact.
