Traien Trail (677)
Map & elevation profile
The Tour
Natural single trail directly at the Giggijoch mountain
The natural singletrail „Traien Trail“ starts on a ridge (offshoot of the Gahe Line 6028), where you only have to watch out for cows and hikers. Right at the beginning there is a technically difficult section with tight switchbacks, in which sometimes rain gutters have also been carved. After crossing the road to Hochsölden, it goes downhill to the left after about 200 m. The Traien Trail then snakes downhill over further technical sections.
