Summer Novelties For Ischgl's Paznaun 2025: Receives European Hiking Quality Seal
Summer 2025 will bring numerous innovations for active holidaymakers and families in Paznaun. Mountain bikers, hikers and nature lovers can look forward to new trails, certified hiking trails, climbing opportunities and family-friendly attractions. In addition, the region will be even more accessible thanks to sustainable mobility options.
Mountain biking: Silvretta Bike Arena and Silva Trails in the Gravity Card
From summer 2025, the Silvretta Bike Arena Ischgl/Samnaun and the Silva Trails Galtür will be part of the Gravity Card network. This provides access to 30 top mountain bike destinations in seven European countries.
The new trails once again underline the limitless nature of the Silvretta Bike Arena 2025. A new 30-kilometer tour connects Ischgl with Ramosch (Scuol) in Switzerland and leads from the Flimjoch along the border over the Val Gronda to the Heidelberger Hütte and further over the Fimbapass. The new Fimbapass Marathon, an 80-kilometer circular tour, leads from Ischgl over the Fimbapass to Ramosch, via Martina to Samnaun and from there back with the mountain railways.
For the 2025 summer season, Silvapark Galtür is expanding its mountain bike offering with new trails. The Faulbrunn Trail, a blue beginner's route, leads one kilometer around the Alpkogel and the Faulbrunn Alm. Three more challenging sections - Schrofa, Tuala and Gonda Trail - offer technical riding pleasure with red and black passages. The offering is complemented by the Kli Zeinis Trail, another blue route. The Schrofa Trail is particularly challenging with a length of 180 meters and technical challenges that make Galtür an even more attractive destination for mountain bikers of all skill levels.
Hiking: Certified trails and new tours
The Paznaun High Trail will be awarded the European Hiking Quality Seal from 2025. The 131-kilometer-long circular hiking trail comprises nine stages with a total of 9,733 meters of ascent and 8,723 meters of descent. As a leading hiking trail, it highlights the region's unique natural and cultural landscapes and combines them with a moderate level of difficulty.
Another new feature is the 14-kilometer-long Val Gronda hiking tour. The route begins at the Flimjoch, leads along the Swiss border over ridge paths and ends at the Heidelberger Hütte. This route combines spectacular views with an intense nature experience.
Family-friendly offers, new climbing opportunities and trail running routes
For families, the Seebis Bear World on the Medrig was opened in See, a versatile playground with water games, a honeycomb tower for climbing and a course for skill exercises. In Kappl, visitors can look forward to the new Escape Trail, an outdoor puzzle adventure in the Alpe Dias area. Here, families and groups can solve exciting tasks in the middle of nature.
In Ischgl, the thermal spa attracts visitors with its extensive summer wellness offers. From June 28, visitors can enjoy the large outdoor pool with sunbathing lawn and children's area, the sauna area, fitness center and trattoria. Early bookers benefit from discounts of up to 20 percent.
There is also something new for climbing enthusiasts. Three multi-pitch sectors have been set up in the region: in the Jamtal, on the Ballunspitze and on the Bürkelkopf. For beginners, the natural stone climbing wall at the Alpinarium in Galtür now offers a new practice via ferrata.
From 2025, the trail running offer in Paznaun will include a total of 31 routes covering different levels of difficulty and landscape profiles.
Sustainable Mobility and Recertification ECARF
Sustainable mobility in the region is still guaranteed by the bus service, which is free with the Silvretta Card Premium or the guest card. Connections run every half hour from Landeck/Zams to the Bielerhöhe. In addition, the "Nightjet to the Mountains" offer enables a comfortable and environmentally friendly journey with Nightjet trains from Hamburg, Amsterdam, Vienna and Graz.
Galtür, Tyrol's first climatic health resort, will remain a pioneer in allergy-friendly holidays in 2025 thanks to ECARF recertification.
