Beschreibung Bike

The starting point of this medium-difficulty mountain bike trail is the car park at the Freizeitzentrum Gries. From there it goes through Prägraten am Großvenediger, past the municipal office in a northeasterly direction, via Wallhorn, to the last farm. There continue in switchbacks to the turnoff Zuchetal. Through the forest past 2 cattle gates to a resting bench (end of the road). Here you follow the hiking trail in a westerly direction over the "Zuchetalgraben" for about 300m further (pushing section) onto the goods road, past the Bodenalm and on to the Wallhorneralm.

Beschreibung Wanderung

From the Wallhorneralm (also called Ochsnerhütte) you first cross the Timmelbach and follow trail no. 26 towards the Eisseehütte. The Eissee hut at 2,521m offers a welcome stopover to make a stop.

Afterwards, follow the trail westward around a terrain edge. Here you can see the summit for the first time. At the signpost turn left and follow the steep trail. At Wallhorntörl (3,045m) the view of the imposing Venice massif opens up for the first time. The further path to the summit leads eastward in the direction of Garaneberkees (3,140m). The last stretch leads over easy block climbing to the summit at 3,300m.
