06. Winterwanderweg zur Rotwegkapelle

Moderately difficult winter hike to the Rotweg Chapel

The winter hiking trail from Kappl village to the Rotweg chapel may be somewhat more challenging due to its climbs, but in turn provides breath-taking views . It starts off at Kappl village square . Below the church, hike in direction of Hotel Dorfstadl to the Diasbahn turn-off .

A meadow path leads to the left down to the Diasbahn valley station . Here you cross the road across Kohlplatz bridge, from where the forest path to Rotweg chapel begins . 

Somewhat steep to begin with, the hike leads through snowy winter scenery until getting to the small chapel, from where you have nice views of the village and various hamlets . When a thick blanket of snow has fallen onto the roof of Rotweg chapel and the sun makes the snow sparkle, that‘s when winter is showing its best side.

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.

Underground parking at the community center.
Further parking in Kappl village at the Pardeck (opposite Camren's Pizzagrill) or below the bakery Wechner - the parking time is limited to 3 hours in winter.

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: Kappl Dorf or Bergbahnen Kappl
