Wiese: Hiking Trails, Climbing Areas and Winter Routes

Wiese combines impressive routes through gorges and valleys with special opportunities for climbing and winter activities. Those planning a trip with different interests will find several clearly distinct experiences here: hikes along the Pitze, a long winter hiking route, climbing areas with bus and parking options, and a cross-country ski trail that runs through the Kitzgartenschlucht gorge. This selection will help you choose the right holiday apartment in Wiese based on your planned excursions and preferred daily schedule.

Water, Gorges and Paths Through the Valley

A valley hike from Stillebach to Wiese follows the Pitzbach stream. Along the way are waterfalls whose water originates in the Kaunergrat and Geigenkamm mountain ranges. The landscape can be experienced not only as a backdrop, but also as a route connecting the river, waterfalls and mountain regions. Another route follows the Pitze through the Kitzgartenschlucht gorge to the hamlet of Wiese. In addition, May devotions, October rosaries, services for the souls of the departed and Stations of the Cross devotions are occasionally held in Wiese’s chapels.

The Alois-Gabl-Weg also passes through the Kitzgartenschlucht gorge. It leads through the gorge to Zaunhof and then continues along a farm track beside the Pitze. This gives you different hiking directions and landscape impressions when planning your trip, without having to combine all the paths into a single circular route.

Hikes of Different Distances

The winter hiking trail from Mittelberg to Wiese is 21 km long. It is possible to join or leave the trail at any hamlet. This is a practical option for anyone who does not want to define their daily route around a single starting and ending point. Take the full length into account when planning and choose your access point to suit your preferred section.

The valley hiking trail from Mandarfen to Wiese is approximately 22 km long. It can be travelled by electric handbike; a Swiss-Trac can also be used on some sections. The approximate figure remains important: plan the route as an approximately 22 km connection and note that the stated use applies only to the respective sections described.

Climbing and Winter Activities

The Wiese sport climbing area can be reached by bus to the Zaunhof Wiese stop. There is also parking at the Wiese II car park at the end of the village of Wiese. Those looking for accommodation and wanting to combine excursions with different travel options can include both possibilities in their planning.

For the Obere Wiese ice climbing area, the bus service runs to the Wiese stop. Parking is available at the end of the Wiese district on the left-hand side. The Kitzgarten cross-country ski trail runs from Boden through the Kitzgartenschlucht gorge to Wiese and then returns to Boden along the same route. In addition to hiking trails, Wiese therefore offers a winter route with a clearly described outward and return course.
