G.03 Sonnenkogel

Easy hike from the Galtür village square to the Sonnenkogel

Starting from the village square in Galtür, go past the soccer field to reach the shore path. Cross the bridge and walk until you reach the sign, which leads to the Sonnenkogel. From here the hike continues on narrow meadow paths up to the Sonnenkogel, which promises a wonderful view to the south into Jamtal - whit its Jamtal glacier, along with the Hinteren (3.156 m) and Vorderen Jamspitze (3.178 m). In the south west giant impressive mountains above Galtür come into view, such as Ballunspitze (2.671 m), Valülla (2.813 m) and Gorfenspitze (2.558m). Return section: descent to Tschaffein and continue along the valley hiking trail to Galtür.

The autoroute (A12 (westbound) or A14 (eastbound)) leads you to the Arlbergschnellstraße (S 16). At the exit for Pians, turn onto the Paznauntalstraße (B 188) and follow its course into the Paznaun.

At the Arzthaus Galtür or at the Sports and Culture Centre Galtür

With the railway station in Landeck, the Paznaun is optimally connected to the Austrian train network. From Landeck-Zams station, only a short bus ride separates you from the Paznaun. Every half hour, line bus 260 runs from there through the valley. Bus stop: Galtür Dorfplatz
