Directions

The walk starts in the town center of Schruns and follows Bahnhofstraße downwards to Hotel Zimba. Hotel Zimba is located behind the post office. Pass by Hotel Zimba and after the car park on the left side, the walking path begins. Follow this path until you reach the paragliders' landing area. The football stadium is also at the end of the path. At the junction, follow the path to the left. You are now in Schrunser Feld. Along the path, a small brook accompanies you downstream. At the height of the yellow houses with blue shutters, the gravel path ends in the meadow path. At the third signpost turn left and walk through the meadow to Silvrettastraße. Once you reach the road, cross it and initially follow the uphill road. In about 5 minutes you reach the end of the road. Now the Beech forest path begins. Slightly elevated, the Beech forest path leads gently up and down in the forest back towards Schruns town center. Beautiful views of Schruns and Tschagguns open up repeatedly. You walk above the Aktiv & Spa Hotel Alpenrose. At the next signpost, head towards Schruns town center and reach the town center in about 20 minutes.
