Description

The route begins in Samnaun village, alternating between ascents and descents. First, the route leads uphill on a forest path to the viewpoint at 2150 metres. After a challenging ascent of 80 metres in altitude, some of which has to be pushed, there is a breathtaking panoramic view of the Samnaun valley. A varied descent awaits with steep, rooted and winding sections that provide an adrenaline rush. Once you reach the forest road, you can ride up the forest road to Fuorcla Curschiglias, where a bench invites you to take a short break and then ride down the somewhat more difficult trail with many hairpin bends. Or you can take the easier option along the forest road down to Samnaun-Laret.

The Fair Trail Schäfersteig requires technical ability and stamina and rewards your efforts with spectacular views over the Samnaun valley. The route is challenging.
